Workshop Organizer
Overview
In the past few years, techniques and approaches have emerged to probe and characterize membrane-less organelles called biomolecular condensates that are found across the tree of life. In this workshop, we will discuss open questions that lie in understanding condensate function, physical principles that are relevant to the underlying cell biology, and how new mathematical and modeling approaches will contribute to tackling such questions.
