The 3rd Bioforphys conference will focus on energy and information in biology. In particular, we aim to establish a wide-ranging interdisciplinary forum for researchers to discuss ideas on how our current understanding of physics can contribute to understanding how energy processing, in the form of heat, work, and information, impacts biology across the molecular, cellular, and organismic scales. We anticipate organizing a fantastic, interdisciplinary, and inspiring conference featuring the most relevant topics and outstanding speakers in the field. Join us in Barcelona for an inspiring, multidisciplinary meeting with exceptional speakers and cutting-edge ideas.


Topics:
1. Energy and information in cells
2. Noise and information processing in cells, tissues, and brains
3. Information–energy conversion and entropy production
4. Molecular processes: machines, folding, self-assembly
5. Mechanics, landscapes, and information in development


Organized by the DPL and SNP divisions of the European Physical Society.
