Conference on Mathematical Models in Medical and Health Sciences

研究人员和同事们在范德比尔特大学组织了一次关于医学和健康科学数学模型的国际会议。会议约有100场演讲和175名与会者。大会将在艾滋病病毒感染免疫系统模型、正常和病理造血系统模型、肿瘤生长和治疗模型、胰腺功能模型、小波分析和医学成像模型、耐药性出现模型、流行病学模型、DNA和遗传异常模型、神经冲动传导模型等领域举行11场全体会议。会议设有癌症模型、生物学中的扩散系统、流行病模型、免疫学模型、细胞群体动力学模型、生物学模型中的优化和控制、医学成像和生存分析中的治愈模型等专题会议。会议的科学目的是促进生物学、医学、健康和生命科学领域的理论数学模型研究。会议的重点是将数学家、生物学家和医学研究人员聚集到一个促进跨学科合作的论坛上。会议的一个主要目的是吸引年轻的研究人员并激发他们的研究目标和方向。最近的博士学位获得者和研究生的参与是会议计划的重要组成部分。会议的科学和教育意义体现在其广泛的研究主题，来自数学系、生物系、工程系、医学研究所和制药公司的研究人员的不同参与，以及研究生和年轻研究人员的积极参与。

Webb 9705595 The investigators and colleagues organize an international conference on mathematical models in medical and health sciences at Vanderbilt University. The conference involves approximately 100 talks and 175 participants. There are 11 plenary talks in such areas as models of the HIV infected immune system, models of normal and pathological blood production systems, models of tumor growth and treatment, models of pancreatic function, wavelet analysis and medical imaging, models of the emergence of drug resistance, models of epidemiology, models of DNA and hereditary abnormalities, and models of nerve impulse conduction. The conference has special sessions in cancer models, diffusive systems in biology, epidemic models, models in immunology, models of cell population dynamics, optimization and control in biological models, medical imaging, and cure models in survival analysis. The scientific purpose of the conference is to stimulate research in theoretical mathematical models in areas of biology, medicine, and health and life sciences. The focus of the conference is to bring together mathematicians, biologists, and medical researchers to a forum that promotes interdisciplinary collaborations. A major aim of the conference is to involve young researchers and to stimulate their research goals and directions. The participation of recent Ph.D. recipients and graduate students is a substantial part of the conference program. The scientific and educational significance of the conference is evidenced by the wide range of research topics presented, the diverse participation of researchers from mathematics departments, biology departments, engineering departments, medical research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies, and the active participation of graduate students and young researchers.
