Mathematics and Biology: a Roundtrip in the Light of Suns and Stars

Description and Aim

Our aim is to bring together scientists from the more mathematical and the more biological 'side' of the field of mathematical biology to promote exchange of ideas, concepts, methods and problems and to inspire new work and collaboration. More specifically, we aim to achieve this interaction and exchange for five key areas where biological questions are in urgent need of mathematical advance and where recently developed mathematical theory could be of use: computational biology (neuroscience, systems biology), infectious disease dynamcs, evolution & ecology, the dynamics of structured populations, numerical analysis of nonlinear biological systems.
