Event description
Biologically inspired physics is an extraordinarily wide field, covering the behaviour of systems from single molecular machines to organisms and even ecosystems.
Physics meets Biology 2012 will provide a broad view of the most recent and exciting research across a broad range of topics and scales. Its scope includes physical probes and imaging, bionanotechnology, molecular machinery, cytoskeletal mechanics, signalling, control, neural systems, development, evolution and ecology. There will be a special session devoted to teaching biological physics.
