Workshop 1 NET-QUASI: Workshop 1: Neurodegenerative Diseases: Unraveling Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms to Advance Prevention and Treatment

Divendres, maig 23 @ 9:30 am3:00 pm

Self-assembly and self-organization are fundamental principles that govern the formation of complex structures and functions across biological systems. This workshop will explore how these processes emerge in nature, how they contribute to the organization of life, and whether similar behaviors can be replicated in engineered systems. By bringing together perspectives from biology, chemistry, and physics, our speakers aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms that drive self-organized processes in living matter across scales. A deeper understanding of these principles could not only provide insights into the fundamental organization of biological systems but also lead to the design of adaptive and responsive materials.
