Biological filaments are central to a plethora of biological processes, ranging from muscular activity at the macroscale to cellular motion at the microscale. A comprehensive understanding of their function requires cutting-edge approaches that transcend the traditional boundaries of science. This workshop aims to stimulate fresh conversations and forge new interdisciplinary networks between biologists and physicists aiming to elucidate the structure, dynamics, and function of biological filaments using diverse and state-of-the-art techniques. Bringing together world-leading experts, as well as ECRs from this broad and vibrant field, we aim to drive transformative discoveries into the underlying principles governing the diverse function of biological filaments as essential building blocks of life. We are excited to announce a 2-day workshop entitled Biological filaments: Structure, dynamics, and function which will take place at the Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter, UK from Wednesday 31 of January 2024 to Thursday 1 of February 2024. The aim of this workshop is to foster a network of physicists and biologists researching biological filaments across scales and from different conceptual, technical, and disciplinary angles.
