U.S. - Hungary Workshop on Models of Biological Motion

INT 9988631遗忘这个关于“生物运动的起源”的研讨会将于2000年6月19-21日在匈牙利布达佩斯高等研究院举行。联合组织者，克拉克森大学的Gabor Forgacs和Eotvos大学的Tamas Vicsek将聚集使用定量工具研究生物运动的多个方面的初级和高级物理学家和生物学家。总体目标是提高我们对涉及生物有机体的各种运动表现背后的生物、数学和物理原理的理解。具体地说，参与者将在三个尺度上考虑生物运动：1)分子水平；2)细胞水平；以及3)组织和有机水平。预计结果将通过编制和宣传新兴领域下一步进展的建议议程，帮助集中和解释这一交叉学科主题中最近的实验和理论工作。“生物运动”研讨会通过使美国和中欧的专家能够在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才和共享研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。研讨会上提出的想法应该成为新的合作研究工作的基础，这些工作试图了解生物系统中运动的产生、组织和协调。

INT 9988631ForgacsThis workshop on the "Origin of Biological Motion" will take place at the Collegium Budapest-Institute of Advanced Studies, Hungary, during June 19-21, 2000. Co-organizers, Gabor Forgacs of Clarkson University and Tamas Vicsek of Eotvos University will bring together junior and senior physicists and biologists who use quantitative tools for studying multiple aspects of biological motion. The overall objective is to improve our understanding of the biological, mathematical and physical principles behind various manifestations of motion involving living organisms. Specifically, participants will consider biological motion at three scales: 1) the molecular level; 2) the cellular level; and 3) the tissue and organismal level. Results are expected to help focus and interpret recent experimental and theoretical work in this cross-disciplinary topic by producing and publicizing an agenda of recommended next steps for progress in the emerging field.The "Biological Motion" workshop fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts from the United States and Central Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Ideas brought forth at the workshop should form the basis of new collaborative research efforts that seek to understand the creation, organization and coordination of motion in biological systems.
