We cordially invite you to an international meeting that will foster communication between a diverse group of researchers at the intersection between Physics and Biology. This workshop will serve as a platform to discuss current developments in molecular and cellular biology. An equally important goal is to provide an environment for the establishment and continuation of joint research initiatives between the Mexican and U.S. scientific research communities working in these areas. The workshop will include research presentations and discussions of interdisciplinary topics related to problems of relevance in biology, such as:

• Nucleic acid conformation in confined geometries
• Lipid membrane dynamics, structure and function
• Proteins in two-dimensional matrices
• Cell signalling as the coupling of information flow between 2D and 3D spaces
