EPS Workshop. Biology for Physics Conference: is there new physics in living matter

Barcelona, 15-18 January 2017.

The contents of the workshop are organized under the umbrella of a few selected themes which all share the underlying playground of nonequilibrium physics which is at the core of living matter. Topics will include

• Physical principles of mechanochemical networks: new challenges for soft matter physics
• Systems biology and self-organization: from active matter to cells and tissues
• Stochastic thermodynamics: from single molecules to complex machinery
• Physics of biological evolution: from the second law to the selection of structures
