The CPOW is charged with increasing recognition and opportunities for women biophysicists in the Biophysical Society and in the scientific professions. The CPOW also seeks to encourage and support young women interested in biophysics and to mentor their professional development. Each year, the CPOW sponsors Annual Meeting activities.

The mission of CPOW is:
  • To promote science education for girls and women
  • To promote the advancement and retention of women and minorities in biophysics
  • To raise awareness of the scientific contributions of women in biophysics
  • To recognize the importance of balancing a career and family
  • To promote fair and equitable treatment and improve the climate for women in biophysics at all stages of their careers
