Physics of Life community (PoL)

Physics of Life (PoL) represents a broad community of scientists that address questions inspired by the study of living systems using the tools of physics: a quantitative approach using physical techniques and/or mathematical modelling.

The field of physics of life covers processes from the level of molecules to tissues, organs, organisms, up to ecological systems. In the past decade, the research efforts of the Dutch biophysics community have mainly focused on life at the smaller scales, from molecules to cells. Currently, experimental and computational methods move towards larger, more complex and multicellular systems, while maintaining the rigor of fundamental, quantitative analysis.
