20. Physics in bacteria: chromosome compaction, gene expression, growth of individual cells.

Prof. Pietro Cicuta (University Cambridge UK)

t has become possible recently to resolve important biological properties of cells in vivo, on large numbers of cells. This allows then models and approaches typical of statistical physics to be developed and deployed. In an effort to understand quantitatively aspects of bacterial life, we measure and model chromosome fluctuations, and rates of gene expression and cell growth. We consider the...

3. Dynamics of macromolecules with Theoretical Physics tools at Trento

Prof. Pietro Faccioli (Trento University and TIFPA)

27/09/2016, 12:10

In this contribution I will provide an overview of the progress of the Trento BIOPHYS group in development and apply theoretical physics methods (path integral formalism, quantum field theory, renormalisation group) to investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of biomolecules. In particular, I will focus on a unified "bottom-up" formalism we have develop which enables to describe both...
