Location: online

“Quantum Biology and Biophysics” is a two-hour online event featuring two thirty-minute talks on quantum biology and two thirty-minute panels. The talks will discuss important phenomena in quantum biology, namely, chemical excitation of electrons and weak magnetic field sensitivity. The panels will cover more general topics of interest, including the relation between biophysics and quantum biology and the future of scientific funding.

Event Speakers

---

Prof. Douglas Brash (Yale University) 
Douglas E Brash, PhD | Yale School of Medicine
Prof. Brash discovered chemiexcitation of melanin in skin as a new mode of disease that uses the pigment melanin to create UV-like carcinogenic lesions even after UV exposure has ended.

Brian Ross (Quantum Biology Institute)
Quantum Biology Institute | Home
Dr. Ross is the DEO of the Quantum Biology Institute, which is investigating weak magnetic field effects in biology and whether they provide evidence that quantum states last for a long enough time inside cells to be biologically relevant.

Panelists (TBD)
