Multi-scale soft matter physics of biological systems with applications in models of human disease
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Biological systems are regulated by active forces that must be coordinated over a vast hierarchy of scales in length and time. However, developing a physical understanding of how these forces are integrated across scales to give rise to the emergent collective behavior of organisms remains a formidable task. In this thesis, I explore how theoretical polymer physics models can be integrated with multi-scale experimental characterization techniques to develop a physical description of biological systems that spans disparate length and time scales.
