This Gordon Research Seminar on Stochastic Physics in Biology focuses on the interplay between statistical physics and biology. Here we want to understand how biological systems not only confront, but exploit noise to maximize their fitness. For this meeting, we explore the relationship between biological functions and computation. How do we quantify cellular information? What is the formal logic of noisy, biological systems? How do cells make decisions from limited information?

Here we give a platform for PhD students, post-docs and early career scientists to communicate their cutting-edge findings to a broad audience of both experimentalists and theorists.
