EMBO Conference: Quantitative Principles in Biology

This conference will be aimed at exploring the key quantitative principles underlying modern biology. The talks and activities will examine the extent to which general principles can be used to describe biological systems, in the light of the explosion of quantitative data coming from all corners of biology.

Participants will include established investigators, junior group leaders, and early-stage researchers, both at the postdoctoral and graduate student levels, with diverse backgrounds, both in terms of the model systems being studied and the methods used (theory and experiments).

Topics:

• Shape, form and motion
• Cellular decisions and patterning
• Cellular networks and regulation
• Variability and limits
• Evolutionary dynamics

Abstract deadline: 10 August 2017
