From 9. to 11. October 2019 the international conference Cell Physics 2019 took place on the campus of the Saarland University. With this time more than 200 participants, among them 30 invited speakers, 50 contributed talks and 100 posters the conference attracted even more scientist than its predecessors 2017, 2016 and 2014. The biannual conference is organized and financed by the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1027 “Physical modeling of non-equilibrium processes in biological systems”. It is an interdisciplinary platform for scientific exchange between participants from cell biology and biophysics, both represented in roughly equal numbers, and focuses centrally on theoretical concepts in conjunction with cell biological experiments. Topics included this time were
- Cell mechanics / mechanobiology
- Cytoskeleton
- Cellular self-organization
- Cell adhesion
- Cell membrane & membrane proteins
- Cancer & Immune system
