Where physics meets biology — •Susanne Liese — Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Materials Engineering: Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany

All biological processes are governed by physical principles. A fundamental understanding of biological functionality therefore requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying biophysical mechanisms. Using mathematical and numerical modeling, we can explore questions at the intersection between physics, biology, and chemistry. These studies include diverse aspects such as the binding dynamics of multivalent pathogen-inhibitor interactions and the intricate formation and interactions within both membrane-bound and membraneless organelles. In this presentation, I will present how these models serve as a key to deciphering the underlying action and organizational principles that drive the formation and self-organization of biological and soft matter systems.
