Multiscale integration in Biological Systems

4th course

One of the fundamental issues in biology is the understanding of the relationship between the multiple spatial and temporal scales observed in a biological system. From molecules to a cellular function, from a collection of cells to an organism, or from individuals to a population, the complex interactions between singular elements can give rise to “emergent” properties at the ensemble level. To what extent can the spatial and temporal order seen at the system level be explained by subscale properties?

Presentation

Objectives

The course will give an overview of modern physical tools that have been developed to address the issue of scale integration (mornings) and will show how these tools can be applied to specific biological systems (afternoons).

ECTS Information

The course will provide 10 ECTS at some doctoral schools in Paris, e.g. ED PIF and ED FDV

Students or researchers can also apply to the course without receiving ECTS.

Exam & Evaluation

Oral presentations (selected), flash talks and poster presentations (optional).

Practical Informations

Practical Informations

The course will be held at Institut Curie, Paris, with adapted sanitary measures due to the current covid-19 pandemic.

  • Audience targetted:

Master students, PhD students and postdocs interested in the interface between physics and biology.

  • Meals & Trip:

All lunches will be provided by Institut Curie. Participants’ home laboratories are responsible for paying travel and lodging. Institut Curie will pre-booked hotel rooms at preferential rates.

  • Fellowships:

A few fellowships are available upon request.
