Biophysical Aspects of Complexityin Health and DiseaseLugano, Switzerland, 19th May 2012

Building bridges between physical sciences and life scien-ces, this conference intends to foster new research direc-tions and scientific collaborations moving biological com-plexity as research field forward into the future.Invited speakers will present results of the latest researchon aspects of biophysics and biophysical medical applica-tion that could contribute to an integrative approach to bio-logical dynamics. The talks are also addressed to non-specialists in theresearch areas that impact integrative biology and informa-tion medicine, stimulating a change of paradigm in lifesciences assuming complexity as a unifying tool.The conference will emphasize the many multi-disciplinaryapproaches used to study these subjects, including astopics among others: - Applied Biophysics, - Biophysical Biometric Tools, - Electromagnetic Activity of Living Systems, - Intracellular Biophysical Signaling Pathways, - Cell to Cell physical Communication, - Biophysical Information,- Biophysical Coherence in Biological Systems, - System Biology and System Medicine, - Health / Disease Biophysical Dynamics, - Bio-Resonance, Biophysical and System InformationTherapy,

- Biophysical role of Water in the Architecture of BiologicalComplexity.
