The Biology and Physics of Prokaryotic Chromosome is an international scientific conference, bringing together experimentalists and theoreticians to discuss discoveries and challenges around building an integrated model of prokaryotic chromosome structure.
The conference focuses on mechanisms of chromosome organisation and structure, chromosome replication, transcription, and segregation, investigated at multiple scale lengths, using both experimental and theoretical approaches. A key goal is to provide a platform for inter-disciplinary work, to foster new collaboration and develop new ideas.
New approaches and technologies have revolutionised the field of prokaryotic chromosome biology in the last fifteen years. For example, super-resolution microscopy is now being used to visualise previously unresolved structure, genomic tools have enabled the capture of new types of proximity information on a genomic-scale, and polymer physics models allow researchers to tackle questions that go far beyond the traditional biological descriptionnof chromosome structure.
Join us in Paris-Saclay for an unforgettablen scientific meeting - this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
At least half of the oral presentation slots are expected to be selected from submitted abstracts and we will prioritise early career researchers.
