--- res: bibo_abstract: - The interface of physics and biology pro-vides a fruitful environment for generatingnew concepts and exciting ways forwardto understanding living matter. Examplesof successful studies include the estab-lishment and readout of morphogen gra-dients during development, signal pro-cessing in protein and genetic networks,the role of fluctuations in determining thefates of cells and tissues, and collectiveeffects in proteins and in tissues. It is nothard to envision that significant further ad-vances will translate to societal benefitsby initiating the development of new de-vices and strategies for curing disease.However, research at the interface posesvarious challenges, in particular for youngscientists, and current institutions arerarely designed to facilitate such scientificprograms. In this Letter, we propose aninternational initiative that addressesthese challenges through the establish-ment of a worldwide network of platformsfor cross-disciplinary training and incuba-tors for starting new collaborations.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Guntram foaf_name: Bauer, Guntram foaf_surname: Bauer - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Nikta foaf_name: Fakhri, Nikta foaf_surname: Fakhri - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Anna foaf_name: Kicheva, Anna foaf_surname: Kicheva foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=3959A2A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0003-4509-4998 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jané foaf_name: Kondev, Jané foaf_surname: Kondev - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Karsten foaf_name: Kruse, Karsten foaf_surname: Kruse - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Hiroyuki foaf_name: Noji, Hiroyuki foaf_surname: Noji - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Daniel foaf_name: Riveline, Daniel foaf_surname: Riveline - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Timothy foaf_name: Saunders, Timothy foaf_surname: Saunders - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mukund foaf_name: Thatta, Mukund foaf_surname: Thatta - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eric foaf_name: Wieschaus, Eric foaf_surname: Wieschaus bibo_doi: 10.1016/j.cels.2018.04.003 bibo_issue: '4' bibo_volume: 6 dct_date: 2018^xs_gYear dct_identifier: - UT:000432192100003 dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/2405-4712 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Cell Press@ dct_title: The science of living matter for tomorrow@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '29698645' ...
