Statistical Mechanics of Biomaterial Self-Assembly and Dynamics Across Scales by Prof. Sayantan Dutta

In natural biological systems, self-organization occurs at multiple scales—from molecular self-assembly, organization of cytoskeletal elements, collective migration of cells to flocking of birds. In recent decades, advancements in microscopy, genetic engineering, biochemistry, and computational modeling have enabled us a more quantitative description of these processes. In this talk, I will show how tools from Statistical Mechanics can be used to develop predictive understanding from such quantitative data.
