Dr. Tom Selby (professor, Chemistry)
Dr. Suren Tatulian (professor, Biomolecular Science Center)
Dr. Deron Walters (professor, Physics)

It was agreed that the name of our association will be UCF Biophysics Group. The presence of Dr. Soileau implied the appreciation of our existence by the administration of UCF. Suren Tatulian was elected the coordinator. The term of the coordinator is either 1 or 2 years. This will be decided in the process.

The mission of UCF Biophysics Group was defined as follows:

• Organize a series of Biophysical Seminars.
• Promote collaborative research, leading to strong interdisciplinary Program Projects.
• Develop a new biophysical graduate course.
