Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino
MCL Graduated cum laude in Theoretical Physics in 1999 working with Bruno Bassetti in Milan. He completed his PhD in Physics at the University of Leiden, working at the AMOLF institute (NL) with Marileen Dogterom.
Statistical physics of cells and genomes
Contemporary biology is characterized by a massive flux of data, and by new high-precision techniques. These technological changes open new scientific perspectives, which in turn lead us to challenge the classic paradigms. In this context, quantitative approaches are essential, and modeling methods based on statistical physics find new avenues for application.
