Overview
Due to structural connectivity and flexibility, biological systems in meso-scale can manifest a variety of emergent, cooperative phenomena, which are the keys to biological functions. Nature utilizes the thermal fluctuations ambient in such biological soft-condensed matter to facilitate crossing seemingly insurmountable barriers. Using statistical mechanics, Professor Sung has sought such paradigm for biological dynamics in biopolymers, membranes, cells and related stochastic phenomena. We commemorate his retirement with this international conference prospecting the pathways of statistical biological physics over the 4 sessions covering the topics:
1) Statistical, Soft Matter and Stochastic Physics 2) Single-molecule Biophysics 3) Membrane and Cellular Physics/ Self-assembly and organization Organizers
