Workshop on Biological Filaments | 31 Jan - 1 Feb 2024

Registration: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/institutes/livingsystems/events/biofilamentsworkshop2024/

Living Systems Institute. Exeter

This meeting will bring together biologists, physicists and mathematicians working on the broad theme of biological filaments (broadly defined!), which includes cilia, flagella, pili, archaella, and many more! We hope this will be a unique forum for some exciting cross-disciplinary engagement and discussions.

Please note that all participants should complete a meeting questionnaire (where you can simultaneously submit an abstract if you wish to present your work), and then proceed to the online store to make the payment of a small registration fee (£120 regular, and £60 for all students) to cover catering costs and a conference dinner on the first evening.
