Lecture by Fred Cross ('77): "Physics and math applied to cell biology: why, whether, and who"
Sponsor: Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering/HHMI

Where: Sci 199
Lecture abstract: The molecular biology revolution initiated a fantastically productive era of biological investigation. The resulting modern picture of how a cell works includes a huge number of complex protein machines, biochemical regulatory circuits, and gene expression regulatory cascades, but the picture is overall rather jumbled, overly detailed and lacking proportion. Physics and math-based (or inspired) methods have the potential to help with integration of this information; I will discuss some of these approaches and illustrate from some of our own work.
