BioSoft congratulates the 2026 Laureates of the @TelAvivUni International Prize in Biophysics: Prof. Arup Chakraborty (@MIT), Prof. James J. Collins (@MIT), and Prof. Ned Wingreen (@Princeton) for their groundbreaking contributions to modern biophysics.

Stepping beyond the lab at the BioSoft Research Retreat. We enjoyed student-led lectures, shared creativity through a music workshop, lively poster discussions, and a refreshing field trip. Special shout-out to @YShokef, Head of BioSoft, @TelAvivUni, for making it possible.

#BioSoft Seminar @Tel_Aviv_Uni 🎙️ Prof. @SidneyRedner (@SantaFeInstitute) 📅 Feb 25, 2026 📍 Ornstein Bldg., Room 111 First-passage processes: exit times, disorder, chemoreception, “worst” graphs & the shapes of first-passage paths. A must for stochastic & complex systems fans!

BioSoft @TelAvivUni is proud to highlight Prof. @roybeck participation in the German–Turkish–Israeli workshop at @desy, which advances international scientific cooperation. The initiative to build a SAXS beamline at SESAME in Jordan will strengthen cross-border research. #SAXS

American Physical Society & Physical Review Letters featured recent research by Prof. @YShokef , head of BioSoft, @TelAvivUni. The work explores mechanical systems based on geometric frustration, from knotted loops to shock absorption and mechanical computation. Congratulations!

✨ Highlights from the BioSoft Mini-Symposium ✨ Great discussions celebrating the 2025 @Tel_Aviv_Uni International Prize in Biophysics 🏆 Guest lecture by @ArvindMurugan (@UChicago ): "Embodied Learning & Computation in Physical Systems" Thanks to everyone who joined! #BioSoft
