GDRI "Evolution, Regulation and Signaling"

The GDRI "Evolution, Regulation and Signaling" is a CNRS initiated and supported European wide scientific network centered around the biophysics of Evolution, Regulation and Signaling. The network has been actively functioning from 2011, organizing conferences, workshops and summer schools and creating a european biophysics community.

Every year in the autumn the GDRI organizes a Paris Biological Physics Community Day. The meeting is organized by PhD students and post-docs from the greater Paris area with the goal of helping young researchers in various areas of biophysics to get to know one another. If you are interested in organizing the next meeting, please contact Aleksandra Walczak.
