This year we will present a diverse set of biological problems that are tackled through the lens of the physical sciences and in addition to an exciting programme presented by renowned international speakers, oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
The PLM series started 19 years ago from an interest to promote the interface between the Life and Physical Sciences in Cambridge. Over the years, PLM has grown from a local meeting to a popular international event that attracts interdisciplinary scientists from all around the world. |
