DESCRIPTION:Prof. Erwin Frey\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich\nPro
 tein pattern formation is essential for the spatial organization of intrac
 ellular processes like cell division\, and flagellum positioning. A promin
 ent example of intracellular patterns is the oscillatory pole-to-pole osci
 llations of Min proteins in E. coli whose function is to ensure precise ce
 ll division. Cell polarization\, a prerequisite for processes such as stem
  cell differentiation and cell polarity in yeast\, is also mediated by a d
 iffusion-reaction process. More generally\, these functional modules of ce
 lls serve as model systems for self-organization\, one of the core princip
 les of life. Under which conditions spatio-temporal patterns emerge\, and 
 how these patterns are regulated by biochemical and geometrical factors ar
 e major aspects of current research. In this talk I will review recent the
 oretical and experimental advances in the field of intracellular pattern f
 ormation\, focusing on general design principles and fundamental physical 
 mechanisms.\n
