Biowulf 25th Anniversary Seminar Series: Science is about curiosity and asking significant questions

About this Class

Dr. Nussinov will highlight some scientific questions bordering on physics and biology, where fundamental physics and chemistry can help biology. They span the behavior of a bird, protein activation, signaling in cancer, and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. They are based on the premise that physico-chemical foundation underlies the mysteries of life, and powerful ideas can inspire experimental approaches to test them. Still, the complexity is immense. The questions are mostly – albeit not all – related to our work, and some involve simulations.
