Scientific Meeting on “Breaking barriers: from Physics to Biology”
Breaking Barriers: from Physics to Biology
A three-day meeting on “Breaking Barriers: from Physics to Biology” has been organized in Bangalore, India. This meeting is a joint program of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) and National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS-TIFR). This joint program of ICTS and NCBS is a satelite meeting of ICTS Inaugral Meeting. The meeting will also bring together close associates and members of Albert Libchaber ’s laboratory. Albert Libchaber is currently on the international scientific advisory board at NCBS, Bangalore. We hope to rekindle old relations, revisit and build on the many past scientific interactions. A few formal lectures along with semi-formal presentations and many informal discussions have been planned.
