Roadmap for Biological Physics

Our Grand Challenge Network on Understanding the Physics of Life – From Molecules to Systems – has reached the end of its funding.

One of the key goals for the Network was to provide direction to EPSRC for the future of biological physics. We have drafted a Roadmap for Biological Physics, drawing heavily on the feedback gathered at our Focussed Workshops. Feedback on the Roadmap was collected at our Final Summit at the end of January. Please find below the final version of the Roadmap which will be forwarded to EPSRC.

Thank you to all the broader community for your feedback and engagement with all aspects of the Network.
