The IICII hands-on school, conducted in collaboration with ICGEB in Trieste and co-organized with IFOM and Institute Curie, focuses on Quantitative Biology. The school covers a broad range of biology topics, from genetics to physiology and ecology, attracting participants from different disciplines. Its goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations by exposing biology students to the power of mathematics and physics in making quantitative predictions, and students with a background in physics and applied math to quantitative experiments in biological systems.

 

The students, divided into groups, will be introduced to a specific biological problem, formalized and analyzed using mathematical theory. The students will perform experiments to collect data, analyze them and quantitatively test the predictions.
