Multiscale Force Sensing and Transduction in Biology
29th June 2020 - University of Warwick
The Warwick-Wellcome Quantitative Biomedicine Programme is pleased to be hosting its 6th annual symposium. This year, the theme is Multiscale Force Sensing and Transduction in Development , which will explore the role of mechanical forces in development acting on multiple scalces from molecules up to organisms. The symposium is a free one-day event that will bring together renown scientists working on a broad range of topics at the interface of biology, physics, mathematics and bio-chemistry.
The themes of the symposium will focus on cross-disciplinary work t oaddress fundamental questions in developmental biology.
More details about the event will follow soon and registration will open in spring 2020.
