Presenting : The Virtual Journal Editors
The Physics of Life content is selected by the virtual journal editors who choose the articles from contributing journals such as Physica A, Physica D and Physical Chemical Letters, to appear on the website. Here is some background information on their specialisms.
Dr.
Marcia Barbosa
Marcia C. Barbosa,
physicist from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, works on models
for complex systems with particular interest in biological systems such as DNA,
proteins and water. Marcia Barbosa heads the group of complex Fluid Dynamics.
She is also advisory editor for the journal Physica A, which is highly related
to the Physics of Life website.
is also a member of the working group ‘’Woman in Physics’’ an initiative of
the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and an organiser
of the Woman
in Physics meeting in March in Paris.
Dr.
Chaitanya Athale
Chaitanya Athale
is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Complex Biosystems Modeling Laboratory
at Harvard-MIT HST-Biomedical Engineering Center and Molecular Neuro-Oncology
Laboratory, Massacusttes
General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston.
His research interests are in Computational Cell Biology, Systems Biology and
integrated Multi-dimensional
Image Analysis.
He is a member of the European Society of Mathematical and Theoretical Biology
(ESMTB) and is currently
also working on a project for knowledge integration.
Selection of Recent Publications:
Dr.
Werner Dubitzky
Werner Dubitzky currently
holds the position of Professor of Bioinformatics at the School of Biomedical
Sciences at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland. Coming from
a computer science background he has recently moved into bio-informatics.
considers Physics of Life research as a logical continuation of research in
life science. As in other fields, Physics of Life research will have to embrace
systems science and computational methods to shed more light on the inner workings
of living processes and systems. Recently emerged new scientific disciplines
like systems biology and bio-informatics are proof of these trends. His main
interest in technologies such as global GRID, data mining, data warehousing,
agent-based and artificial life systems focuses on methods to help unlock the
secrets of the Physics of Life.
Dr. Dubitzky’s areas of interest include:
