This implies that any theoretical study on DNA should take into consideration the vast variety of space and time scales, making it necessary the adoption of multi-physics approaches, covering the entire range of theoretical methods from quantum chemistry to rough mesoscopic models. Within this scenario the importance of data to bias simulations and as a reference to calibrate low resolution methods (Dans et al. 2017; Neguembor et al. 2022; Schultz et al. 2025).<br>\r\nLarge efforts have been made to develop accurate low level DFT and semiempirical methods that can be data-providers for a new generation of force-field, as well as integrated in QM/MM packages for an efficient representation of DNA reactivity (Aranda et al. 2019). Atomistic force-field have gained accuracy, showing good ability to reproduce unusual forms of DNA and long segments of DNA in the context of chromatin (Collepardo-Guevara et al. 2015; Genna et al. 2025) and providing very useful data for the calibration of lower level coarse-grained or mesoscopic methods(De Pablo 2011; Farré-Gil et al. 2024) ,which have gained sequence specificity, scalability and computational efficiency, allowing to simulate kilo-to-megabase fragments of DNA. Very remarkable efforts have been made to move up these methods to represent chromatin, which requires the introduction of biases derived from experimental data (MNAseq, chromosome conformation capture, and even static or dynamic pictures obtained by ultra-resolution microscopy, and others (Buitrago et al. 2019; Neguembor et al. 2022; Li and Schlick 2024)). This has opened the possibility to recover dynamic “base-pair” resolution pictures of chromatin and study aspects from local and global chromatin rearrangements to inter-play between effector proteins and nucleosomes, the impact of lesions in chromatin structure, and even the role of phase separation in defining local chromatin arrangements (Joseph et al. 2021; Liu et al. 2025; Park et al. 2025).<br>\r\nAs the target systems move from the small atomistic detail to the entire chromatin fiber, the community is broken into different sub-communities. This generates a risk of disconnection, which would lead to a waste of effort reformulating solutions to already solved problems, or ignoring the characteristic that a method should have to maintain coherence with more accurate models, or to scale to represent systems of real biological interest. This will be the main objective of this meeting, which will join a variety of sub-communities with a common interest: the DNA.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41929-019-0290-y\" target=\"_blank\">[1] J.

Initially, many foundational models focused on macroscopic agents – such as flocks, swarms, and driven granular particles – where simple interaction rules give rise to rich collective phenomena. However, over the past two decades, much of the focus has shifted toward microscopic and mesoscopic active systems, especially in soft and biological matter, supported by the technological development of high-resolution imaging, force measurement, and microfabrication. These advances have driven a more refined theoretical understanding, connecting microscopic dynamics with hydrodynamic and continuum-scale descriptions, and have found applications in biophysics, material science, and cellular biology. <br>\r\nIn parallel, yet often semi-independently, active matter concepts have flourished in ecological and robotic systems. In these domains, the agents – be they insects, birds, autonomous vehicles, or soft robots – not only self-propel and interact, but also sense their environments, make decisions, and adapt their behavior. These systems extend the classical framework of active matter by incorporating elements of intelligence, information processing, and environmental feedback. Notably, such systems can operate far from equilibrium and exhibit coordinated behavior that seems tuned for functional outcomes – navigation, foraging, or collective decision-making.<br>\r\nThese trends point toward a convergence: macroscopic active matter systems capable of intelligent, adaptive, or programmable behavior. This includes both natural systems (e.g., flocking insects, social insects, animal herds) and artificial systems (e.g., modular robots, programmable matter, active granular agents). The interplay of self-propulsion, interaction rules, information exchange, learning or memory, and system-level feedback opens exciting new directions for both fundamental science and applications. Recent efforts in this space combine techniques from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, robotics, and machine learning.<br>\r\nHowever, the communities working on these different aspects of active matter – soft matter physicists, ecologists, roboticists, and complexity scientists – remain fragmented, with limited opportunity for sustained dialogue. Bridging these communities is essential to develop a shared language, identify unifying principles, and guide the development of new experimental platforms and theoretical frameworks.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08514-6\" target=\"_blank\">[1] F.

We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:26:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:34:30", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/yvette-fisher", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yvette Fisher, UC Berkeley", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119404/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71337, "title": "Brown Bag Seminar in Finance", "slug": "brown-bag-seminar-in-finance-6", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/brown-bag-seminar-in-finance-6", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32691/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32691/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32691/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-23", "end_date": "2026-06-23", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-09T16:38:27", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-09T16:38:27", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "UNIL, Extranef, room 126", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Darius Nik Nejad - SFI@EPFL PhD student ", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120027/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/39/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=api" ] } ] }
