Michael Shelley, Ph.D.Director, Center for Computational Biology, Flatiron Institute -
Saverio Spagnolie, Ph.D.Associate Professor, Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Mechanics of Life Workshop will bring together researchers working in biological soft matter, active suspensions, complex fluids, and fluid-structure interactions to share recent discoveries and new tools, and to foster new scientific relationships and collaborations in our field. From the active metropolis inside each living cell to the slow, alluring motions of the world’s largest organisms, mechanical insight continues to advance our understanding of the living world.
