Mogilner0107388 Mathematical and theoretical biology is a vital and rapidlygrowing subject that complements empirical work and providesmodel systems for study and manipulation. Such model systems cansometime suggest shortcuts when the experimetal work isdifficult. More often, the models provide novel tools to disectcomplex biological phenomena in addition to traditionaltechniques. The current challenge in the field is to makequantitative modeling, on the one hand, a part of the process offundamental biological discovery, and, on the other hand,applicable in biomedical and biotechnological situations. Thisrequires researchers with biological skills and mathematicalinsight and facility. At this time such individuals are rare.The investigator and his colleagues organize an InternationalConference on Mathematical and Theoretical Biology at Hilo,Hawaii on July 15--19, 2001. The goals of the meeting are tohighlight current top-level research, to provide a perspective onfuture research areas, to provide opportunities for careerdevelopment to junior researchers and underrepresented categoriesof researchers, to foster interactions between establishedresearchers and junior researchers and between theorists andexperimentalists. The meeting highlights exciting traditionaland new areas of rapid growth in mathematical biology, such astheoretical ecology and evolution, quantitative cell biology,proteomics, mathematical modeling in medicine and mathematicalphysiology and immunology. Plenary speakers both give a broadoverview of their field and focus on areas for future research.Additional contributed and poster sessions are organized to givejunior researchers the chance to be heard. Mathematical and theoretical biology is a younginterdisciplinary field of science that provides quantitativemodels in biology. These models provide novel tools to disectcomplex biological phenomena. The current challenge in the fieldis to train researchers with biological skills and mathematicalinsight and facility. The conference helps to highlight currenttop-level research and provides opportunities for careerdevelopment to junior researchers and underrepresented categoriesof researchers.

Mogilner0107388 数学和理论生物学是一门重要且快速发展的学科，它补充了实证工作并为研究和操作提供了模型系统。 当实验工作困难时，这种模型系统有时可以建议捷径。 更常见的是，除了传统技术之外，这些模型还提供了新颖的工具来剖析复杂的生物现象。 该领域当前的挑战是一方面使定量建模成为基础生物学发现过程的一部分，另一方面适用于生物医学和生物技术情况。 这需要研究人员具有生物学技能和数学洞察力和能力。 目前这样的人很少见。研究者和他的同事于2001年7月15日至19日在夏威夷希洛组织了一次国际数学和理论生物学会议。会议的目标是突出当前的顶级研究，提供对未来研究领域的展望，为初级研究人员和代表性不足的研究人员提供职业发展机会，促进相互之间的互动。 资深研究员和初级研究员、理论家和实验家之间。 会议重点介绍了数学生物学中令人兴奋的传统和快速发展的新领域，例如理论生态学和进化论、定量细胞生物学、蛋白质组学、医学数学建模以及数学生理学和免疫学。 全体演讲者都对各自的领域进行了广泛的概述，并重点关注了未来的研究领域。还组织了额外的投稿和海报会议，让初级研究人员有机会发表意见。 数学和理论生物学是一个年轻的跨学科科学领域，提供生物学的定量模型。 这些模型提供了剖析复杂生物现象的新工具。 该领域当前的挑战是培训具有生物技能、数学洞察力和设施的研究人员。 该会议有助于突出当前的顶级研究，并为初级研究人员和代表性不足的研究人员类别提供职业发展机会。
