Welcome to the Economic Cell Collective!

Since 2021, we have been organizing ourselves as a community of researchers in systems biology and related fields, and interested in fundamental questions around cell physiology, cellular growth, resource allocation, and biological thermodynamics. Our monthly forum is a place for discussing general and fundamental questions about our field. It takes place on the 1st Thursday of each month. Everybody is invited to join! This website gives an overview. For more details, please contact the organizers.
