These lecture notes present the latest trends and challenges in the modellingof biological systems from a mechanics perspective. They cover both fluid andsolid mechanics, the modelling of growth in biological systems, and present the application of physical methods for the modelling of systems in cellular biology, physiology, and morphogenesis. INDICE: 1: Locomotion at Low Reynolds number; 2: Surface Tension; 3: Dynamics of Complex Bio-Fluids; 4: Active Fluids and Gels; 5: Elasticity and Dynamics of Cytoskeletal Filaments and their Networks; 6: Morphoelasticity - A theory of elastic growth; 7: Mechanics of Tumour Growth: Multiphase Models, Adhesion, and Evolving Configurations; 8: Microbial mechanics: the growth and form offilamentary micro-organism; 9: The physics of the cell membrane; 10: ModelingPlant Morphogenesis and Growth; 11: How cell mechanics shapes embryos
