Journée François Jacob 2021 " Mathematical beauty of life "

It will bring together specialists from a wide range of backgrounds, all involved in the physical or mathematical modeling of biological objects.

François Jacob Days

Every year, the Journées François Jacob, organized by the Institut de biologie of the Collège de France, bring together the best French and foreign specialists to discuss a theme at the cutting edge of biology research.

The winner of the Prix Antoine Lacassagne, awarded each year by the Collège de France to a biology researcher, is traditionally invited to receive his or her prize at the Journées François Jacob, and to give a seminar related to his or her work.

The Journées are named in honor of François Jacob, holder of the Cellular Genetics Chair at the Collège de France (1964-1991), who was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with André Lwoff and Jacques Monod for his discovery of the genetic regulation of enzyme and virus synthesis.
