The International Jury has awarded the 2022 Pierre Gilles de Gennes Prize
To Professor Andela Saric ( https://andelasaric.com ) for her remarkable
Research and insights in areas ranging from Chemical Physics to
Biophysics and Beyond … and her invited talk will be entitled:
“How to split a droplet into two:
the physics of cell division across evolution”
The spirit of the conference is perhaps best illustrated by the life-work of the late Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, whose interests were covering superconductivity, polymers, wetting, memory and many other fascinating topics. He was a friend who supported our conference vision, and gave talks in 2006. He was a brilliant scientist that will be remembered forever. To his honour, and with the approval of his family, we have introduced a regular Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Prize.
The Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Prize is pluridisciplinary: The best candidate is a person, who has completed a Ph.D. in solid state sciences in recent years (roughly, less than 12 years ago) and who is now successfully continuing her/his research and career in bio or nano-bio field of science.
