The pre-Gordon Research School on Quantum Biology
The Pre-Gordon Research School on Quantum Biology
Introducing topics before the first-ever
Gordon Research Conference on Quantum Biology.
The virtual school bridges the gap
between quantum mechanics and biology.
Over a series of lectures online, our goal is to help you understand diverse concepts from the life sciences,
with quantitative rigour in the physical sciences.
