The Physics of Living Systems (PoLS) Student Research Network (SRN) is funded by the National Science Foundation award PHY-2014141, from the Division of Physics, Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and hosted by the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at Rice University. It is a trans-institutional community-based network of graduate students and graduate student educators all working on the physics of living systems. This is the annual meeting, hosted this year by the Center for Quantitative Cell Biology.
