Nuclear chromodynamics: statistical physics and cell nucleus


  Alexander Grosberg

Cell nucleus is the place of incessant activity which is of vital importance.  In recent years, experimental information is becoming increasingly accessible on both structure and dynamics of chromatin and other intra-nuclear components.  The arising theoretical challenges include aspects of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics, and polymer physics.  In the talk, some assortment of these topics will be presented.
