Thursday September 12
11 am - noon
Building 40, Room 1201 / 1203

Abstract:
In my talk I will highlight some scientific questions bordering on physics and biology, where fundamental physics and chemistry can help biology. They span the behavior of a bird, protein activation, signaling in cancer, and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. They are based on the premise that physico-chemical foundation underlies the mysteries of life, and powerful ideas can inspire experimental approaches to test them. Still, the complexity is immense. The questions are mostly – albeit not all – related to our work, and some involve simulations.
