Physics of Biological Systems

The international workshop “Physics of Biological Systems”, will take place on May 27-29 2025 on the King’s Buildings campus of the University of Edinburgh. This is the second workshop of a series started last year, which aims to bring together a vibrant community of researchers working on the frontier at the boundary between experimental and theoretical biophysics, physics of life and biologically motivated soft matter physics.

The workshop Program this year will cover five broad themes:

• Mechanobiology

• Protein-based Pattern Formation

• 4D spatiotemporal patterns in the genome

• Stochastic processes in biology

• Biohydrodynamics

Join us to listen to the excellent line-up of international speakers and consider active participation – submit an abstract for a contributed talk or poster presentation. Each workshop theme will offer three slots for contributed talks (15+5 min). Early career researchers including postdoctoral fellows and PhD students are highly encouraged to submit. The workshop aims to foster the atmosphere of equality, diversity and inclusion. Limited funds are available to offset travel expenses for participants in need, especially early career researchers.

The scientific Program will begin at 9am on Tuesday, May 27th and adjourn Thursday, May 29th at lunchtime. Detailed program to follow.

Registration is now closed.

All participants in HCTP activities are expected to show respect and courtesy to others throughout the duration of an event, including at social events. We draw the participants’ attention to the HCTP Code of Conduct
