Physics in Aging Biology 2025
The emerging field of gerophysics represents a paradigm shift in aging research, integrating theoretical physics principles with biological systems to decode the complexities of aging biology.

This workshop brings together physicists, biologists, and computational scientists to explore cutting-edge approaches in understanding and potentially manipulating the aging process. We will delve into how concepts from statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and complex systems theory can illuminate cellular aging mechanisms, epigenetic landscapes, and organismal decline.

Presentations will cover topics ranging from energy landscape models to network theory applications in multi-omics data integration. The workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, showcasing how physics-inspired methodologies can lead to novel interventions for extending healthy lifespan. By bridging theoretical frameworks with experimental biology, we seek to accelerate the development of quantitative tools for predicting age-related outcomes and designing targeted therapies. Join us in shaping the future of longevity science through the lens of gerophysics.
