Μodern photonics and quantum optics technology has in recent years made impressive progress in creating novel classical as well as non-classical states of light. Such states have been used to advance spectroscopy, develop new light-based technologies and probe inanimate matter with increased precision. An exciting new direction has been the use of such novel light sources to study living matter, from the cellular level of photoreceptors, to the level of human vision. The 1st Quantum Vision workshop aims to highlight and explore the recent advances that merge photonics and quantum optics with the physiology of human and animal vision. The workshop will facilitate interactions and inspire collaborations between researchers from a broad range of disciplines, such as: quantum optics, biophysics, visual perception and neuroscience, optometry, opthalmology, and even machine vision and human-machine interfaces.

Microfluidics is a quickly growing, highly interdisciplinary field at the interface of physics, engineering, chemistry and biology. The EMBL Microfluidics Conference 2020 aims to bring together top researchers in the field and to spark scientific exchange, also across different disciplines. The latest Lab-on-a-Chip technologies and applications will be presented, which should be of major interest for experts as well as scientists looking for a first glance at this exciting new technology.

A living organism relies on the interactions of molecular constituents within itself and with its surroundings to function properly. Recent studies have shown that the dynamic spatial organization of different molecular components within a cell, different cells within a tissue, and different organisms within a community, play critical roles in enabling the full functionality of the organism. Furthermore, differential spatial organizations may imply a new level of functional regulation that complements the classic mechanism by molecular interactions. Understanding why and how biological functions are spatially organized requires a concerted effort from scientists of diverse backgrounds.

Antibiotic resistance is a pressing global challenge to human health, and biophysics and bioengineering have much to offer to the global response to this challenge. This meeting will help bring together scientists working to diagnose, understand, and overcome antibiotic resistance. Engineering approaches and the biophysical methodologies of spectroscopy, single-molecule and single-cell microscopy, computational modeling, and development of functional assays are uniquely suited to help answer these questions. This meeting seeks to explore the interface between biophysical research and the microbiology of drug resistance, highlighting the breadth of work that spans these two fields and encouraging new synergies to tackle this global health problem.

The ultimate aim is to uncover the beginning of biology. Life is abundant around us - plants, microbes, larger animals. This was not the case on early Earth. What processes could allow non-living matter to create the evolutionary machinery of replication, mutation and selection? How could life establish itself so robustly? Even though life on earth likely emerged slowly over billions of years, discovering the combination of mechanisms that enable the emergence of self-reproduction and capacity to evolve in the lab may well be possible on human timescales.

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. The workshop is planned to take place in the new BIRS station in Hangzhou, China in the fall 2020. It will bring together the best scientists from different backgrounds (e.g., cell biology, biomechanics, biophysics, biomathematics, etc.) to exchange ideas and discuss the latest results and future directions. We hope this workshop will also strengthen the academic exchanges and cooperation between Asia and the Western world. Moreover, we particularly encourage women scientists and the emerging generation of bright young scientists to participate.

This workshop will focus on the following topics: (1) Interplay of biochemical and mechanical aspects of cells. (2) Interactions between cells and their microenvironment. (3) Mechanical aspects of biological processes at the tissue level, such as morphogenesis, tissue growth, wound healing, and cancer progression.

Quantum biology is emerging as a promising synthesis of quantum science and technology with the complexity of biological systems. Quantum coherent effects in photosynthetic light harvesting and the radical-pair mechanism of biological magnetic sensing, tunneling effects in olfaction, coherent electron transport in biochemical reactions, biomimetic quantum technology for sustainable energy sources are only few of the directions explored by quantum biology.

The 12th QuEBS workshop aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers like quantum physicists, biologists, biophysicists and biochemists, physical chemists in order to communicate the latest findings in this exciting new field and promote scientific interactions.

The last two decades have seen the advent of a variety of super-resolution imaging techniques that provide spatial resolution well below the diffraction limit, approaching virtually molecular detail. Their widespread application is currently transforming biological research enabling new and exciting views on the structural organisation of cells and the dynamics of biomolecular assemblies on different timescales. These revolutionary developments come with novel requirements for fluorescent probes, labelling techniques, and data interpretation strategies. Researchers from across the scientific spectrum are involved in designing improved tools and solving previously intractable problems using super-resolution techniques. We invite you to attend the ‘International Conference On Nanoscopy 2020’, which will uniquely and exclusively focus on super-resolution microscopy and its biological application. Held in Jena, Germany in the summer of 2020, it will bring together an international group of experts to discuss the latest advances and future directions in the field.

The PLM series started 15 years ago from an interest to promote the interface between the Life and Physical Sciences in Cambridge. Over the years, PLM has grown from a local meeting to a popular international event that attracts interdisciplinary scientists from all around the world. Since 2018, a new partner has joined PLM: the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI, Aix-Marseille University, France) and the 2018 PLM symposium took place in Marseille. In 2020, PLM will be back in Marseille for its 15th edition that will take place on October 01 & 02. In addition to an exciting programme presented by renowned international speakers, oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
