研讨会简介：软物质和活性物质承载着病原体免疫反应到器官形成等众多生命过程，乃至鸟群在天空的集体运动。这些系统的复杂动态演变以及它们对来自内部和环境信号的精准响应，几个世纪以来一直吸引着科学家和公众的兴趣。本次研讨会邀请了四位在揭示这类现象背后的物理原理和通用机制方面作出重要贡献的杰出科学家，他们的报告将通过实例的研究，介绍实验和建模及分析策略，获得对系统行为的定量理解，为药物设计及合成生物学开辟新思路。
Introduction to the Symposium:Soft and active matter supports life processes from pathogenic immune response to organ formation and even extends to the flocking behavior of birds. The intricate dynamic organization of these systems, along with their precise response to both internal and environmental cues, has fascinated scientists and the public alike for centuries. This symposium features four distinguished scientists who have made seminal contributions to unveiling the physical principles and generic mechanisms underlying phenomena unseen in inanimate matter. The presentations will highlight experimental and modeling strategies that aim to achieve a quantitative understanding of observed behavior in representative systems, with potential applications in novel drug design and synthetic biology.
