Emerging Trends in Physics of the Cell

Revolutionary experimental techniques, such as super-resolution microscopy and DNA nanotechnology have enabled unprecedented insights into cellular systems. Meanwhile, machine learning and AI are accelerating the design and analysis of biomolecules including proteins, facilitating a deeper understanding of spatiotemporal dynamics at the molecular and cellular levels. These developments allow us to move beyond descriptive biology towards quantitative, predictive models and engineered biological systems. By convening leading experts and early-career researchers, the workshop aims to stimulate discussions on key challenges how fundamental physical principles can drive technological and biomedical breakthroughs. These breakthroughs are rooted in the physics of non-equilibrium systems, soft matter, and active matter. To achieve these goals, interdisciplinary and international collaboration is essential. The workshop will emphasize the synergy between theory and experiment, basic and applied research, and the integration of physics, biology, AI, and engineering.
