Schwartz Reisman Institute for Theoretical Physics

Over the last decades, the study of microbial physiology has been invigorated by technological advances and improved mathematical and biophysical models. In particular, single-cell and single-molecule measurements have allowed understanding at a finer resolution, often accompanied by conceptual breakthroughs and novel stochastic models.

This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together experimentalists and theorists, physicists, biologists, mathematicians and engineers, working on a diverse set of problems involving stochasticity in the context of microbial growth, growth-arrest and gene expression.
