2024/03/06 - 2024/03/09 | The “Forces across scales” meeting focused on mechanobiology, a multidisciplinary area of research that explores how mechanical
forces interact with biological systems, influencing cellular behavior, tissue development, and disease progression. In this
meeting we connected different scales and processes, bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines, such as biology,
biophysics, bioinformatics, and bioengineering to stimulate knowledge exchange and disseminate cutting-edge research findings. (2024/03/06 - 2024/03/09)
