The Jesse W. Beams Lecture Series was started when the late Jesse Beams, Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia, was still active in research.\u00a0 Professor Beams is recognized as a major contributor to experimental physics in this century.\u00a0 He was also a major contributor to advances in instrumentation that have made a large fraction of current research in molecular biology possible.\u00a0 Professor Beams was a strong supporter of, and participator in, interdisciplinary research.\u00a0 He foresaw the future of biophysical science and was one of the prime initiators of the Interdisciplinary Program in Biophysics here at the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n
The Beams Lectureship was initiated in 1972 by the Biophysics faculty of the University with the purpose of bringing to the University recognized innovators in Biophysical Science to deliver a public lecture on a topic of their own choice, and to exchange information and ideas with faculty and students.<\/p>\n
