The Turing Centre deciphers the complexity and the dynamics of living systems

The Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) is an interdisciplinary centre located in Marseille (France).
CENTURI aims at developing an integrated interdisciplinary community, to decipher the complexity of biological systems through the understanding of how biological function emerges from the organisation and dynamics of living systems.
The project federates 24 teaching and research institutes in biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and focuses on Research, Education and Engineering, 3 missions that hold interdisciplinarity as their core principle.

The research and training programmes implemented under the auspices of CENTURI will foster new collaborations, transform practices, attract new talents and thereby contribute to making the Luminy campus a leading site for the interdisciplinary study of biological systems in Europe.
