Jena Life Science Forum 2009


The theme of the first JLSF meeting, which will take place from June 18th to 20th 2009, will be The Molecular Language of Life .
Starting from the concept of information, we intend to pursue the question of whether language can be seen
as a general principle of Nature - one on which the organisation of living material rests -
and whether a working hypothesis that incorporates this idea might allow the development of
new strategies for research into the life-governing principles that operate on a molecular scale.
