Active soft matter: Cell biology in motion

Cells organise their intracellular components into structures essential for their growth and movement. The building blocks within cells display complex collective behaviour, characterised by self-organisation and multiscale dynamics. Can theoretical and experimental physics in the field of active matter help us understand the biological processes that regulate cellular activity? This workshop is designed to bring together researchers from physics, biology, and life sciences who work both experimentally and theoretically on the dynamics, self-organisation, and collective behaviour at both intracellular and cellular scale. It is an opportunity to explore recent advances in intracellular dynamics, cytoskeleton self-organization, intracellular active matter physics, multiscale cell dynamics, bioinspired active systems, and bioengineering.
