SUMMARY: Physics of Multicellularity - Ray Goldstein (DAMTP\, Cambridge)
DTSTART:20101124T141500Z

CONTACT:Dr Jock McOrist
DESCRIPTION:One of the most fundamental issues in biology is the nature of
  evolutionary transitions from single cell organisms to multicellular ones
 . Not surprisingly for microscopic life in a fluid environment\, many of t
 he processes involved are related to transport and locomotion\, for effici
 ent exchange of chemical species with the environment is one of the most b
 asic features of life.   In this talk I will describe recent experimental 
 and theoretical work from my group on these issues that has  highlighted s
 ome fundamental open problems in the nonequilibrium physics of self-organi
 zation.
