About

CAFE-BIO will provide a cohort of DCs with a rigorous training in solving complex problems where an ability to combine perspectives and quantitative methods from multiple scientific traditions is essential to gain insights and make predictions for systems characterised by many degrees of freedom and intrinsic noise. These skills will be gained in part through scientific research that applies techniques from statistical and condensed matter physics to understand how phenomena in biological systems – key to such functions as movement, growth and regulation – emerge from interaction between their component parts. A distinctive feature of the CAFE-BIO programme is that a novel combination of modelling and analysis techniques, that traditionally have each been applied in a specific problem domain, lies at the heart of each individual research project (IRP).

Further details of the scientific background and the research and training provision within CAFE-BIO are available from the network website @@ link @@ and the official EU page for the network.
