  text: The interface of physics and biology pro-vides a fruitful environment for
    generatingnew concepts and exciting ways forwardto understanding living matter.
    Examplesof successful studies include the estab-lishment and readout of morphogen
    gra-dients during development, signal pro-cessing in protein and genetic networks,the
    role of fluctuations in determining thefates of cells and tissues, and collectiveeffects
    in proteins and in tissues. It is nothard to envision that significant further
    ad-vances will translate to societal benefitsby initiating the development of new
    de-vices and strategies for curing disease.However, research at the interface
    posesvarious challenges, in particular for youngscientists, and current institutions
    arerarely designed to facilitate such scientificprograms. In this Letter, we propose
    aninternational initiative that addressesthese challenges through the establish-ment
    of a worldwide network of platformsfor cross-disciplinary training and incuba-tors
    for starting new collaborations.
