Economic principles in cell physiology
A collaborative forum exploring how physical, chemical, and economic principles shape living cells.
Living cells evolve complex regulatory strategies, but they remain constrained by the laws of physics and chemistry. The forum Economic principles in cell physiology explores the fundamental principles that govern cellular organization, resource allocation, and biological function through discussion, modeling, and interdisciplinary exchange.

About the Forum
The Forum Economic Principles in Cell Physiology is an open, international discussion space on cell physiology, systems biology, and mathematical modeling. It brings together researchers at all career stages - from students to senior scientists and emeriti professors - to exchange ideas in a collaborative and inclusive setting. Each session is organized by a small team that selects topics from community suggestions and invites two speakers. Talks are short, with extended time for discussion. Ideas are shared and refined collaboratively during the session.
How it works: Session format
- Monthly forum sessions (1st Thursday)
- Two time slots: 13:00 or 17:30 CET
- Two speakers per session
- Discussion-driven format
- Shared collaborative note-taking
- Open post-session discussions
A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): Coming soon
We are currently developing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to accompany the textbook, offering an interactive and accessible learning experience. Stay tuned as we continue to expand our open educational resources.
Get involved
The Forum Economic Principles in Cell Physiology is run by an international network of researchers across Europe, the US, Asia, and Central America. We meet regularly to coordinate topics, invite speakers, and shape the direction of the forum. Everyone is welcome to participate.
