3rd Workshop on the Physics of Excitable Media

We are pleased to announce the 3rd Workshop on the Physics of Excitable Media (POEM) — an interdisciplinary meeting focused on the principles of excitability in both living systems (e.g., nerves, muscles, plants) and nonliving materials (e.g., chemical reactions, gels, membranes).

Topics include:

  • Fundamentals of action potentials: gaps, questions, and predictions 
  • Membrane and cytoskeleton during action potential propagation
  • Effects of drugs and medical relevance from physics point of view
  • Information encoding and computation with pulses
  • Nonlinear acoustics
  • Lipids and macromolecules: the cellular building blocks

We invite abstracts for contributed talks and posters (A0, portrait format).
