Cells - What do you know?
Dienstag, 8. Juni 2010
Steigenberger Hotel Sonne, Neuer Markt 2, 18055 Rostock
This meeting is to explore what a “systems perspective” in cell biology can teach us about (i) how cells work and how they differ from inanimate complex systems; (ii) how we should and are studying them; (iii) the status and nature of models and theories in biology versus physics.
