Workshop SPLW01 — Building a bridge between non-equilibrium statistical physics and biology
03 Jul 2023 - 07 Jul 2023 • Cambridge , United Kingdom
Organizer:
Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)
Abstract:
This workshop will bring together researchers from biophysics/mechanobiology experiment, soft active matter theory and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. There will be a mixture of pedagogical overview talks and research talks. The meeting aims to bring together mathematicians and statistical physicists specializing in the fundamental properties of fluctuations and response in nonequilibrium states with theoretical researchers in soft matter working on active matter and biological physics and experimental researchers in biology and biophysics. We expect to enable new collaborations and cross-fertilization of ideas. In short, we expect that understanding the living world will provide challenges that will stimulate new fundamental thinking in statistical physics while current research in this field will help to structure our ever-expanding knowledge of living matter as a nonequilibrium dynamical system.

Towards a More Perfect Union: Multi-Scale Models of Muscle and Their Experimental Validation
17 Jul 2023 - 20 Jul 2023 • Canterbury, United Kingdom
Organizer:
BPS - The Biophysical Society
Abstract:
An emerging generation of computational models and modeling approaches that cross multiple temporal and spatial scales is enabling new understanding of the mechanisms that regulate striated muscle contraction. These models and their technical underpinnings rely on new, higher-order information about protein and sarcomere structural dynamics, and this is supported by the current resolution-revolution in structural biology. Coupling experimental and computational approaches provides a powerful approach to describe the functional properties and interactions of sarcomere proteins both at rest and during contraction. This understanding then offers new insights into mechanisms that regulate cardiac and skeletal muscle contractile function and its dysfunction in diseases. Moreover, such approaches support the identification of small molecule targets for therapeutic interventions and can predict their mechanism of action. The thematic meeting will provide a forum for colleagues from academia and industry to connect between disciplines and discuss their own advances and prospects for applying new computational and experimental tools. The aim is for a new generation of muscle researchers to forge close collaboration amongst themselves and bridge the gap between modelers and experimentalists.

MORPHO23 — Dynamics of Self-Organization in Animal and Plant Development
24 Jul 2023 - 25 Aug 2023 • Santa Barbara, United States
Organizer:
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara
Abstract:
During animal and plant development, cells self-organize into complex organisms, through the gradual refinement of cellular identities and their arrangement in space. This is an iterative process, which progresses through successive rounds of symmetry breaking, accompanied by changes in molecular and mechanical properties that feed back across multiple scales. Many of the elementary processes underlying developmental patterning and morphogenesis are now well documented, and a growing array of tools is available to observe and manipulate their dynamics. Yet, we lack a set of general principles that explain how they are coordinated in space and time to produce a defined outcome, and comprehensive synthetic approaches that use such principles to recapitulate development in vitro. This program will bring together experimentalists and theoreticians to work towards an integrated view of self-organization. This requires that we examine how the collective dynamics of development emerge from individual cellular behaviors - how cellular decisions in high-dimensional gene expression landscapes are coordinated in patterning, and how cellular force generation and mechanical feedbacks provide a substrate for tissue-scale communication and morphogenesis. Unifying these different processes, the notion of information may provide a common currency for the molecular and mechanical cues that guide development, encouraging us to consider that information is not only conveyed and interpreted but also self-organizes.
Topics:
morphogenesis, development, plant development, self-organization, theory, quantitative biology, biophysics

Biophysical Society Conference — Proton Reactions: From Basic Science to Biomedical Applications
20 Aug 2023 - 24 Aug 2023 • Tahoe, California, United States
Organizer:
BPS - The Biophysical Society
Abstract:
A vast number of biologically important enzymes, transporters, and other molecules require the participation or transport of protons. Because the proton is unique in many respects, its properties and reactions are often quite distinct from those of other ions. Our goal is to include a truly international spectrum of speakers and attendees. The invited speakers include chemists, structural biologists, and physiologists whose expertise encompasses a wide range of topics that are all related to the proton. We hope to encourage new understandings on levels from basic science to biomedical applications.

BIRS Workshop — Mathematical Methods for Exploring and Analyzing Morphological Shapes across Biological Scales
03 Sep 2023 - 08 Sep 2023 • Banff, Alberta, Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Abstract:
The advances in imaging techniques have enabled the access to 3D shapes present in a variety of biological structures: organs, cells, organelles, and proteins. Since biological shapes are related to physiological functions, biomedical analyses are poised to incorporate more morphological data. For example, at the macroscopic scale, characterizing brain morphologies allows clinicians to quantify the progression of Alzheimer's disease. At the microscopic scale, the characterization of protein morphologies allows biologists to understand how these biomolecules react to chemical variations of their environment and helps detect promising pharmacological targets for the treatment of conditions ranging from neurological disorders to several cancers. Therefore, different biological scales ask a common statistical question: how can we build mathematical and statistical descriptions of biological morphologies and their variations? This workshop invites participants from different application fields to exchange mathematical and statistical methods for the study of biological shapes.

SPLW02 — Active mechanics, from single cells to cell layers, tissues and development
04 Sep 2023 - 08 Sep 2023 • Cambridge , United Kingdom
Organizer:
Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)
Abstract:
This workshop brings together experimental and theoretical researchers who work on cell mechanics, on three different scales. At the microscopic scale, the cytoskeletal active network shapes the cell and generates active forces. At the mesoscale, the collective motion and mechanics of cells gives rises to tissues such as epithelial cell sheets which have become a premier biophysical model system. In the full biological context of cell and developmental mechanics, such as in model tissue organoids, shapes and function arise through the interplay of this active mechanics with morphogens and signalling. Our workshop will explore these three scales of size and complexity, with a view towards bridging the gaps between communities and developing a true multiscale understanding.

BIRS Workshop — Mechanics of Cells and Polymer Networks: Bridging Theory, Simulation and Experiment
10 Sep 2023 - 15 Sep 2023 • Banff, Alberta, Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Abstract:
The interface between biology and quantitative disciplines including physics, mathematics and engineering is rapidly expanding. This is the result of many factors, but is largely driven by higher resolution spatial and temporal data from cutting edge imaging techniques, and increasing success in applying physical modeling techniques to biological problems. Mechanobiology is an especially rapidly developing field at the quantitative biology interface. This field describes how force is generated in biological systems, how force impacts chemistry, and how force generation is controlled by intracellular signaling pathways. Numerous feedforward and feedback interactions connect forces in cells to the dynamics of proteins and gene expression, resulting in highly nonlinear systems with complex and often non-intuitive behaviours.
