The Physics of Living Matter explores how the techniques, methods and general philosophy of the Physical Sciences can be applied to Biology. It is concerned with the structure and organization of biological systems and has the cell at its centre. From there, it extends both down to the molecular realm and upwards towards the tissue/organism level.
This year’s symposium PLM6 will be held on the 19th and 20th of September 2011. The Lawrence Bragg lecturer this year will be Professor Sir Paul Nurse
Please note that this meeting is now fully booked. Registration will now place you onto a waiting list.
Please register for each day separately:
DAY 1 : http://workshop.ccbi.cam.ac.uk/register/5zlom3xy/
