Venue: | St. Catherines College, Oxford |
Organised by: | Biological Physics Group of the Institute of Physics |
Introduction
Biologically inspired Physics is an extraordinarily wide field, covering systems that vary in scale from single molecular machines to organisms and even ecosystems. Physics Meets Biology will provide a broad view of the most recent and exciting research across a broad range of topics, including: signalling, control, noise; molecular motors and cyto-skeletal mechanics; biomolecular self-assembly; bionanotechnology and biomolecular electronics and photonics. The conference is organised around an international programme of invited speakers and will include contributed talks and poster sessions. Its state-of-the-art research coverage is designed to inform experts of the latest developments; it will also provide a valuable introduction to biophysical research for junior researchers, including graduate students. Physics Meets Biology is the inaugural conference of the Biological Physics Group of the Institute of Physics.
