*Workshop Announcement: Biological physics at large facilities: From
molecules to cells*
Jointly organised by ESRF-ILL
Grenoble, 19 - 23 October 2008
The workshop will bring together the Biology and Physics communities for
a discussion on the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of physics
instrumentation and methods for the study of biological structures and
dynamics at neutron sources and synchrotron radiation facilities. The
impact of using physics methods in the study of biological systems is
growing rapidly with unique opportunities offered by new instrumentation
and methodology at large facilities worldwide. Both ESRF and ILL are
planning considerable upgrades, with biophysical methods at the
forefront. An integrated approach is essential to understand the physics
of biological processes. The workshop will actively input into the
facility upgrade plans and encourage networks of connections between
complementary physical techniques. Please go to the webpage for details:
