Conference Description
The Stochastic Physics in Biology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
This Stochastic Physics in Biology GRC is structured around cross-cutting themes, beginning with foundational historical perspectives before moving into core topics such as dimension reduction, self-assembly, and the rhythmic cycles in living systems. A key focus is on the flow and management of energy and information. Sessions on minimal life models, inverse problems, and systems with vast interacting parts will tackle the field's grand challenge: developing unifying theoretical frameworks for biological complexity. The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, seeding new collaborations at the exciting frontier where physics meets the science of life and learning.
To enhance communications, the discussion leader of each session will provide a broad-stroke background of the topic while introducing the speakers. We have also set aside ample short talk slots to be selected from submitted abstracts.
The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include 9 sessions and the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by April 22, 2026. Please check back for updates.
