The thematic meeting is designed to foster dialogue between fundamental biophysics of living systems and the engineering of synthetic active materials inspired by biology.
This meeting will bring together leading theoretical and experimental researchers from around the world to explore developments in active and responsive soft matter. With an expected audience of approximately 100 participants, the event provides a focused and highly interactive environment for scientific exchange.
Key topics include:
- Physical stimuli in active and responsive biological systems
- Behavior of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in 2D and 3D environments
- Collective dynamics of biological swimmers and their responses to external cues
- Advances in mechanobiology tools and analytical methods
- Multiscale tissue mechanics emerging from cells, fibers, and adhesions
