Symposium

[3S-Aa(English)] [Scientific Research on Innovative Areas] Properties of biomaterials and their roles in cell fate decision

Fri. Jul 19, 2024 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM Venue A (1F Conference Room 101)

Organizers:Kyogo Kawaguchi(RIKEN/The University of Tokyo), Tetsuya Kobayashi(The University of Tokyo)

Biosystems, abundant in information processing units, not only adhere to but also leverage the physical laws shaping cellular materials. This session aims to bring together leading researchers to delve into the physical aspects of biomaterials in information processing, with a particular focus on cell fate decisions. It will showcase innovative methods for understanding and manipulating both multicellular and intracellular dynamics, thereby bridging the gap between biology and physics.
