The CellTiss Days 2019 conference will focus on physical and quantitative studies of biological processes, from the molecular to the cellular and tissular scales. It will take place on november 5-7 2019 in the beautiful Presqu’Île de Giens, in the South of France, at the « Belambra Club Les Criques » resort.
This conference echoes the GDR « Celltiss » network which, over the past 12 years, has brought together a broad community of scientists addressing fundamental biology issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. We intend to use the CellTiss Days as a springboard to launch a new GDR entitled « Quantitative Approaches to Life », which will explore new horizons at the interface between physics and biology.
The present conference will encompass five broad topics:
– Collective phenomena in biology
– Mechanics of cells and tissues I&II
– Molecular self-assembly in cell biology
– Signaling and opto-genetics
– Cytoskeleton
– Optical instrumentation in cell and developmental biology
We hope to attract a large number of young researchers who will be encouraged to take advantage of the poster sessions and many slots set aside for contributed talks.
