At termly IPLS Meet-ups researchers working at the interface of physics and biology at UCL and neighbouring institutions present their work. Meet-ups are a great opportunity to learn about the latest interdisciplinary research. 

This Meet-up is part of the Biophysics Week, organised by the Biophysical Society.
