The Music of Life: Biology beyond the Genome

Date: Friday, 24 May 2013

Speaker: Professor Denis Noble, Balliol College, University of Oxford

What is life? The view of life presented in this lecture is that of the systems biologist: to understand what life is, we must view it at a variety of different levels, all interacting with each other in a complex web. It is that emergent web, full of feedback between levels, from the gene to the wider environment, that is life. It is a kind of music.
