This workshop contains four lectures given by John F. Marko and two lectures by Jae-Hyung Jeon. John’s lectures are designed for students and researchers interested in biophysics, soft matter physics, and chromosome biology, emphasizing connections between theory, single-molecule experiments, and cellular-scale phenomena. Jae-Hyung Jeon’s lectures focus on theoretical frameworks for anomalous diffusion processes commonly observed in living systems.
