Theory of Living Systems
Theory and computing at the frontier of modern life science
About
Modern approaches to research in the life sciences are more quantitative than they have ever been. Across a broad spectrum of fields, the precision, fidelity, and resolution of available data only continues to improve year on year. This has so far proved transformative, leading to an increasing role for theory and computation, and raising the prospect of truly integrated approaches to the study of animate, living systems.
​
The Theory of Living Systems is a webcast seminar series and mailing list based out of Australia and New Zealand. The aim is to promote cutting edge research at the interface of theory, computation and life science.
​
We hope to encompass a broad range of traditional disciplines, including (but not limited to) biophysics, systems biology, mathematical ecology, active matter, computational neuroscience, collective behaviour, and much more.
Join us for an exploration of whole cell modelling and more, as the Theory of Living Systems presents a special talk series, in association with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems.
Selected recordings of previous webinars can be found on our YouTube channel.
