BP 29: Focus Session: Theoretical Modeling and Simulation of Biomolecular Condensates I (joint session CPP/BP)

Donnerstag, 12. März 2026, 09:30–11:15, ZEU/0260

Biomolecular condensates play a central role in many cellular processes and provide a fascinating example of self-organized, highly dynamic systems. Physical methods, particularly from statistical physics and soft matter, have emerged as valuable tools for understanding and predicting their fundamental properties. Conversely, the complexity and diversity of biological systems open new perspectives and challenges for physical modeling. This focus session will highlight current research at the interface of physics and biology, with an emphasis on theoretical modeling and simulation of the physics of biomolecular condensates.

Organized by Arash Nikoubashman, Tyler Harmon and Lukas Stelzl.
