Frontiers and Challenges in Quantum Biology

  • Copenhagen, Niels Bohr Institute

In 1932, Niels Bohr outlined a set of speculative ideas on the possible relevance of quantum physics to living systems in his lecture “Light and Life,” delivered at the International Congress on Light Therapy in Copenhagen. Nearly a century later, this conference returns to the same city to revisit and develop those early ideas, bringing together researchers working at the interface of physics and biology in what has since become known as quantum biology.

Taking place from 16–17 April at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, the meeting will provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists interested in both the theoretical and experimental application of quantum concepts to biological systems. The programme will feature keynote talks by internationally recognised leaders in the field, alongside ample time for in-depth discussion and a poster session aimed at students and early-career researchers.

Participation is free, but a registration is required due to limited seating. More details are available at: https://indico.nbi.ku.dk/event/2190/
