Description:

This school will compare different modern approaches to soft matter and describe up-to-date results on both fundamental and applied research. Topics on the frontier of molecular biology research such as nucleic acids and their interactions will also be discussed.  An overview of  basic principles as well as sophisticated simulations will put students in contact with state-of-the art research in these topics and allow them to build connections between different theoretical approaches and the available experimental data.

In addition to presenting posters, participants will be invited to give short talks on their research activity. This school is aimed at graduate students and researchers in the fields of statistical mechanics, materials science, biophysics and nanobiotechnology. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.
