2023 Living Machines @ Work day

The Living Machines @ Work interdisciplinary object groups together 125 teams and platforms from 8 Graduate Schools within the Université Paris-Saclay. Teams of the IO LM@W work in the domains of Biology, BioInformatics, Physics and Chemistry. LM@W aims to understand the fundamental molecular mechanisms of biology to create innovations for health and biotechnology. The main scientific focus is on the structure, function and evolution of biological machineries, their integration in cellular networks and their applications in biotechnologies. The 2023 Living Machines @ Work day is a mini-symposium that aims to promote interdisciplinary interactions between biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians and (bio-)informaticians and to showcase the interdisciplinary projects supported by the interdisciplinary object. Moreover, the day provides opportunities for networking between students and scientists with interests in interdisciplinary research. The program of the day includes: - seminars by two keynote speakers (Leonid Mirny, MIT - USA and Institut Curie - France, and Martin Lenz, Université Paris-Saclay - France) - short talks by invited scientists and students from Université Paris-Saclay. - a poster session by interested participants, including students The first LM@W day will take place on the 11th of October 2023 at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Université Paris-Saclay in Gif-sur-Yvette. Participation is limited to scientist and students associated with the Université Paris-Saclay. Participation, including lunch and coffee breaks, is free of charge but registration is compulsory.
