UCL Institute for the Physics of Living Systems Annual Symposium 2024
20 Jun 2024, 08:50 – 17:00
Our goal in organising this symposium is to showcase the depth and breadth of research at the interface between physics, mathematics, computer science, and biology in UCL. We aim to spur new collaborations within UCL and across London by presenting new interdisciplinary approaches to tackle complex biological questions.
Registration for this event is free but it is mandatory. We have limited spaces so please register early to avoid disappointment.
Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
Please register by 10th June 2024 for joining instructions.
Directions: The Jeremy Bentham Room (JBR), is located in the Wilkins Building. Please walk through the quadrangle and take the entrance to the right. Please turn left along the South Cloisters and then walk up the stairs on your right, beside the UCL Main Library.
