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

INT 9988631 Forgacs这次关于“生物运动起源”的研讨会将于2000年6月19日至21日在匈牙利布达佩斯高等研究院举行。 共同组织者，克拉克森大学的Gabor Forgacs和Eotvos大学的Tamas Vicsek将汇集初级和高级物理学家和生物学家，他们使用定量工具研究生物运动的多个方面。 总体目标是提高我们对生物体运动的各种表现背后的生物学，数学和物理学原理的理解。 具体来说，参与者将考虑三个尺度的生物运动：1）分子水平; 2）细胞水平; 3）组织和有机体水平。 结果预计将有助于集中和解释最近的实验和理论工作在这个跨学科的主题，通过生产和宣传的议程，建议下一步的进展，在新兴领域。研讨会通过使来自美国和中欧的专家能够联合收割机互补人才并在相互强大的领域共享研究资源，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标兴趣和能力。 在研讨会上提出的想法应该形成新的合作研究工作的基础，寻求了解生物系统中运动的创造，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.
