Physics of Living Systems @ MIT

The mission of Physics of Living Systems @ MIT is to advance our understanding of living and other emergent systems across scales and to train the next generation of leaders pushing the forefront of research at the interface of physics and biology. PLS brings together biophysics, soft matter, and statistical physics researchers from across the Department of Physics at MIT. Research is conducted in eight different groups that include a total of over 70 scientists, as well as by the PLS Postdoctoral Fellows, a group of independent researchers working alongside and contributing to the PLS community. The fields of biophysics and soft matter have experienced tremendous growth and excitement in recent years, with areas of focus ranging across all scales, from the structural organization of polymers to the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of populations. Graduate students and postdocs in the Physics of Living Systems Group benefit from an interactive and supportive intellectual community,
