Abstract Deadline Extension ---- Mini-symposium on Mechanics of Semiflexible Networks at USNCCM-11, Univ of Minnesota July 2011

I would like to bring to your attention the mini-symposium entitled "Computational Mechanics of Semi-flexible Biopolymer Networks" at the 11th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics to be held at the University of Minnesota.

This symposium is aimed at bringing together recent advances in theoretical, computational, and experimental research of fibrous structures such as the cytoskeleton, tissue scaffolds, and polymeric materials. We hope that this conference will serve as forum for experts in mechanics, materials science, and biology to discuss various aspects of these complex systems.

The abstracts may be submitted at the USNCCM web site:

The Deadline for abstract submission is January 31st.

The Deadline for abstract submission is extended to February 18th.

The announcement of the minisymposium is attached.

Thanks- Hamed
