Center for the Physics of the Living Cell
The goal of the Center for the Physics of Living Cells (CPLC), an NSF Physics Frontiers Center Program, is to make transformational advances at a genuine scientific frontier: the physics of living cells. The challenge in crafting a quantitative, physical description of living systems is formidable, requiring both accurate structural understanding of hierarchical assemblages of atoms and highly-resolved determination of dynamical processes on many scales.
