In this one hour seminar, I wish to discuss with (rather than giving lecture to) colleagues at the Institute of Natural Sciences, the issue of the intertwining of physics, chemistry and biology. We will discuss the history and accomplishments of multidisciplinary approaches in biological and biomedical research. The current challenges we face require this type of collaborative work between scientists in different areas. However, it is easy to say it, but hard to assemble a team of physicists, chemists and biologists. We can have an open discussion on how we can do it better. I will provide some information on historical perspective and my thoughts to elicit the discussion.
