From the level of networks of genes and proteins to the embryonic and neural levels, information at various scales drives biological self-organization. Living systems process this information to an astonishing degree of accuracy and generate the complex patterns of life. Physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and biologists are collaborating extensively to unravel the role of information in biological processes. This discussion meeting aims to focus on recent advances in the general principles of information processing and self-organization in living systems.SpeakersVijay Balasubramanian, Univ Pennsylvania, USAUpi Bhalla, NCBS-TIFR, IndiaManoj Gopalakrishnan, TIFR, IndiaStephan W Grill, BIOTEC, TU-Dresden, GermanyAnn M Hermundstad, Univ Pennsylvania, USAGarud Iyengar, Columbia Univ, USA *Gautam I Menon, IMSc, IndiaSharad Ramanathan, Harvard Univ, USAMadan Rao, NCBS-TIFR, IndiaGuillaume Salbreux, Francis Crick Institute, UKG V Shivashankar, MBI, SingaporeCaroline Uhler, MIT, USA* To be...
