Single Molecules Meet Systems Biology
Single molecule biophysics and systems biology are two contemporary disciplines that rely on physical tools and mathematical modeling to understand underpinnings of biological phenomena. New developments in cellular imaging and absolute quantification at the single molecule level are beginning to bridge the two disciplines, with the potential for facilitating a new quantitative understanding of biological processes. The interface between these two areas holds great promise of fertile interaction and new discovery. In this meeting we heard talks on new and innovative tools and technologies, as well as participated in active discussions among field experts.
