Conference: Stochastic Physics in Biology, Gordon Research Conference, January 23-28, 2011, Ventura, CA

这次会议讨论了对我们理解生物功能至关重要的问题。它将汇集来自生物学、应用数学和物理领域的实验者和理论家，专注于噪音、动态涨落和异质性在确定细胞和有机体的生物学中所起的作用。它将探索几个领域的交叉，包括单分子和单细胞水平的实验，随机物理理论，生化和遗传相互作用的网络，以及细胞的进化。广泛的影响这次会议将通过将该领域的领先者与年轻的研究人员聚集在一起，加强交流，孕育新的研究想法，发展新的领导力，促进生物学的发展。大会将通过解决与会者、发言者和会议主席的多样性(特别是代表人数不足的群体和妇女)，扩大在这一领域的参与。建议由细胞系统和生物分子系统集群颁奖

This conference addresses questions that are fundamental to our understanding of biological function. It will bring together experimentalists and theorists from the fields of biology, applied mathematics and physics to focus on the role that is played by noise, dynamic fluctuations, and heterogeneity in determining the biology of cells and organisms. It will explore the intersection of several fields, including experimentation at the single-molecule and single-cell levels, stochastic physical theory, networks of biochemical and genetic interactions, and the evolution of cells.Broader ImpactsThe conference will promote the development of biology at its interface with physics, by bringing together leaders in the field with young investigators to enhance communication, seed new research ideas, and develop new leadership. The Conference will broaden participation in this field by addressing diversity (particularly with respect to underrepresented groups and women) in participants, speakers and session chairs.Recommended for award by the Cellular Systems and Biomolecular Systems Clusters
