Physical Biology Circle Meeting

International Focus Workshop
30 January - 1 February 2023

The Physical Biology Circle Meeting will bring together European researchers at the leading edge of research in experimental and theoretical biological physics. The meeting aims to discuss research topics at the interface between physics and biology and to foster interactions between key European institutions in this quickly growing field. Emphasis is put on the active participation of junior researchers with lots of opportunities for contributed talks by PhD students and postdocs. All fields of biophysics are welcome.


We plan an on-site workshop.

Topics include

  • Tissue mechanics
  • Stochastic thermodynamics
  • Phase separation
  • Epigenetics
  • Chromatin dynamics
  • Biological hydrodynamics
  • Active matter
  • Cell signalling
  • Morphogenesis
  • Soft matter
