Biology is a rapidly changing field that has been making tremendous strides forward in recent years. Biology is changing from a descriptive to a quantitative and conceptually profound field.  This workshop will showcase a sample of the rich opportunities in biology for physicists. It is aimed at physicists, especially graduate students and post-docs, who are curious about how a background in physics can provide a unique perspective of biological systems. We believe that physicists will make a substantial contribution to this revolution by working together with biologists.
