Explore mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics of active biological systems in this seminar lecture delivered as part of the ICTP-SAIFR Biological Physics Seminars series. Delve into the fundamental principles governing active systems across multiple scales, from individual particles to complex tissue structures. Learn how thermodynamic concepts apply to biological systems that operate far from equilibrium, including cellular processes, molecular motors, and collective behaviors in living tissues. Examine the theoretical frameworks used to describe energy dissipation, entropy production, and information processing in active biological matter. Discover how mesoscopic approaches bridge the gap between microscopic molecular interactions and macroscopic biological phenomena, providing insights into the physical principles underlying life processes.
