Quantitative Biology program and kick-off meeting
The Institut Pasteur has initiated a new Quantitative Biology program intended to facilitate research and education at the interface of biology and physics.
One of the major aims of Quantitative Biology is to understand the underlying principles of complex biological behavior in terms of physical and mathematical models. This approach overarches all fields of biology. Many Pasteur laboratories are integrating physical approaches in their studies ranging from structural biology, via cell biology, to infection and development. To encourage this development on campus the Institut Pasteur has initiated a new Quantitative Biology program in 2016. The major purpose of this program is, to foster interactions between scientists involved in Quantitative Biology at Institut Pasteur, to bring quantitatively trained scientists into biology and to encourage biologists to integrate quantitative models into their research.
The new program will be launched with a kick-off meeting on October 17. This one-day symposium will give Pasteur scientists the opportunity to share their research in quantitative biology with the community and to organize the new program
A call for abstracts is open. Deadline is on August 31, 2016.
