Bridging theoretical physics and probability to biology and life sciences
Over the past few years, there has been a surge in theoretical insights into the quantitative, physical basis of life, bridging theoretical physics and probability to biology and life sciences. As a part of the University of Freiburg’s physics-driven, interdisciplinary approach to understanding living systems, the symposium, co-hosted by SFB 1381 PIs Thorsten Hugel, Carola Hunte, Claudine Kraft and Jens Timmer, will feature a selection of theoreticians that made innovative contributions on diverse aspects of the principles and laws that govern the emergence, organization, information processing, and thermodynamics of living matter. The goal is to identify analogies, differences, and controversies in theoretical approaches to living systems. Besides the scheduled talks, the program leaves ample time for discussions and exchange between different areas.
All interested parties from various disciplines are cordially invited to take part in exciting discussions!
