The “Quantitative approaches to living systems” research network (“Approches quantitatives du vivant”, AQV) promotes exchanges between communities at the interface between biology and physics, to stimulate the emergence of new approaches to living systems.
Our network follows on the former “Physics from cell to tissue” (“Physique de la cellule au tissu”, CellTiss) research network. While preserving the dynamics established between the members of CellTiss, the objective of this new iteration is to cover quantitative approaches to biology in the broadest sense. For more details, see the letter of intent submitted to the INSB and INP directorates (in French) and for the renewal (also in French).
