Jagiellonian University in Krakow

We are pleased to announce the forthcoming 5th Jagiellonian Symposium on Advances in Particle Physics and Medicine (JS2024), which will take place in Krakow from June 29 to July 7, 2024. Following the success of the previous symposium in 2022 (4th Jagiellonian Symposium on Advances in Particle Physics and Medicine), this symposium continues the rich tradition of the Jagiellonian Symposia on Fundamental and Applied Subatomic Physics. These symposia have been organized at the Jagiellonian University since 2013 and build on the legacy of earlier thematic symposia dating back to 2001.

Controlling matter to the point where simple stimuli can change mechanical properties and lead to force generation up to a controlled shape change represents a holy grail of modern science. While active matter research is advancing in an impressive pace, we are still far from a situation where we can claim the understanding and control required for such active materials to become part of our every-day live. While we are not able to control active matter the way we want, every cell in our body is able to do exactly that. Cells are active, non-equilibrium systems that are able to switch their mechanical properties in seconds from stiff to soft and even from solid to liquid and vice versa. This is possible because cells can precisely control the properties of their intracellular mechanical support structure, the cytoskeleton. In this WE-Heraeus Seminar, we will unite todays leading experts in the field of an active matter description of the cellular cytoskeleton to push the next generation of students and postdocs to the current knowledge level in a single seminar.

The field of biology is experiencing a transformative phase, thanks to remarkable advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The explosion of high-resolution cryo-EM maps is challenging computational biophysics to rapidly and robustly discern mechanistic implications from the experimental data. Emerging theoretical approaches aim at processing, validating, complementing, and interpreting cryo-EM data, overcoming issues in image analysis, map refinement, and the simulation of large biomolecules. This thematic meeting seeks to explore the interface between computational biophysics and cryo-EM, highlighting the breadth of work that spans these two fields, and encouraging new synergies. Our goal for this meeting is to maximize the potential of computations and experiments in the field of single-particle cryo-EM.

Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (IASM)

This interdisciplinary workshop combining discussions of theoretical modeling and experimental investigations, aims to further our understanding of the cell and tissue mechanics from the subcellular to the tissue scale with the emphasis on uniting them into a coherent picture. The research aimed at understanding how physical forces and changes in the mechanical properties of cells and tissues contribute to development, cell differentiation, physiology, diseases, etc.

This Discussion meeting aims to provide a strong foundation for future advancements in this fundamental topic in cell biology. To this end the Discussion meeting will explore various facets of membrane asymmetry, bringing together experts from the realms of membrane physical chemistry, membrane biophysics, and membrane physiology. Bridging additionally experiments, simulations and theory will address the relevant time and length scales in plasma membrane mimicking systems and thus define a lively platform for intense scientific interactions.

Living cells have evolved robust mechanisms to coordinate the activity of many different molecules in space and time. For example, cells concentrate specific molecules into membrane-less compartments called biomolecular condensates. Experimentalists have generated an ever-growing list of condensates, which participate in diverse biological functions, such as gene expression, signal transduction, and neurotransmission. In addition, these condensates exhibit a wide range of lifetimes, sizes, mechanochemical properties, and architectures. Despite recent progress in characterizing molecular interactions leading to condensation, how the emergent physical properties of condensates mediate their biological functions is poorly understood. This conference will bring together a diverse group of theorists and experimentalists currently probing this structure-function problem of biomolecular condensates.
