Physics of Living Matter 19

We are pleased to announce that the Physics of Living Matter conference is back in Cambridge for its 19th edition! 

This will be on the 24^th and 25^th of September 2026, at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Wilberforce Rd, Cambridge CB3 0WA, UK).

As per tradition, the conference will showcase a diverse set of biological problems that are tackled through the lens of the physical sciences and in addition to an exciting programme presented by renowned international speakers, oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts.

The PLM series started 19 years ago from an interest in promoting the interface between the Life and Physical Sciences in Cambridge. Over the years, PLM has grown from a local meeting to a popular international event that attracts interdisciplinary scientists from all around the world.
