28 - 30th June 2010

This meeting will bring together cell biologists and biophysicists to discuss the physical basis of many cellular processes.  It will concentrate on model systems in which a combination of experimental studies and physical modelling has significantly enhanced our understanding of a wide variety of living cells and their common design principles.  The meeting will be organised round the themes of:
•    Space and Time
•    Symmetries
•    Growth and Form
•    Chance and Control
•    Evolution

Participation of students and young researchers is particularly encouraged.  A number of bursaries will be available for researchers from EU accession countries and developing countries.
