Goals and Themes

The third international conference with tutorial day "Physics for Life Sciences" is to be housed by Ioffe Institute. The conference is devoted to interdisciplinary studies at the intersection between physics and life sciences: biology, medicine, and agricultural technologies.

Objectives

• development of a discussion platform for scientists working in various fields of physics, biology, and medicine;
• revealing "hot problems" for which it is appropriate to develop interdisciplinary approaches;
• raising the competence level of participants in allied sciences;
• inviting physicists to solve currently pressing problems of biology and medicine.
