DESCRIPTION:hosted by Gasper Tkacik\nAbstract: PCDF 2024 aims to bring toge
 ther various disciplines – including physics\, information theory\, appl
 ied mathematics\, and  data science – to explore a central problem of d
 evelopmental biology: how cells integrate external signals and make fate d
 ecisions. Our focus is on bridging the gap between the biological phenomen
 a of interest and their theoretical\, modeling\, and rigorous data analysi
 s treatments. We have taken care to balance the theoretical and experiment
 al contributions to the conference.The list of topics includes\, among oth
 ers:Pattern formation in organoids and in developing organisms.Gene regula
 tory networks that underlie cell-fate decisions.Interaction between cell f
 ate\, gene expression\, and chromatin dynamics during early development.Dy
 namics of morphogen signallingMechanical signaling in cell fate decisionsD
 ynamical system\, statistical physics\, and information-theoretic framewor
 ks to study cell fate decisionsThe conference will feature about 15 invite
 d and 15 contributed talks that will be selected from the submitted abstra
 cts. In addition\, there will be two poster sessions\, and ample opportuni
 ties for networking. This is a fantastic opportunity for PhD students and 
 postdocs to present and discuss their work.  We are also planning a numbe
 r of social activities to promote informal interactions.We are looking for
 ward to your participation!Please submit your abstract for the poster sess
 ions and the contributed talks here (https://registration.ista.ac.at/even
 t/registration?id=Physics_of_cell_fate_decision3587131127).Registration an
 d abstract submission deadline is April 22\, 2024.Conference website (http
