Meeting Support: Modeling Across the Scales - Atoms to Organisms to be held January 5-10, 2002, in Santa Fe, New Mexico

摘要0125000数学和分子生物学(PMMB)项目的研究人员和他的同事组织了一次国际会议，主题是生物和数学科学之间的多尺度现象。这次会议包括一组广泛的多学科的参与者、学生和研究人员，他们活跃在数学(广义)和生物学的界面上。该项目支持大约15名国内学生和青年科学家参加，他们是从会议的网络和期刊广告产生的全国申请者库中挑选出来的。会议的一个不同寻常的特点是开幕日有教程，为与会者准备讲座，数学家向生物学家介绍基本原理，生物学家为定量科学家提供教程。两场会议聚焦于在计算科学和生物学之间工作的学生的重要问题。特别欢迎学生参加会议并介绍他们的工作。数学和分子生物学(PMMB)项目在分子生物学和数学科学之间进行研究，并在这一领域培训学生和博士后。这一努力的一个重要部分是一系列关于数学和分子生物学的会议。会议提供了一个舒适但具有挑战性的环境，每个学科的学生和科学家可以学习其他学科和多学科方法来解决现代生物学中的重要问题。这促进了学科培训，促进了新的跨学科合作，并在一个重要的科学领域帮助培养了更多具有数学和生物专业知识的人。该项目支持学生和初级科学家。

Sumners0125000 The investigator and his colleagues in the Program inMathematics and Molecular Biology (PMMB) organize aninternational conference on the subject of multiscale phenomenaat the interface of the biological and mathematical sciences.This meeting includes a broadly multidisciplinary set ofparticipants, students and researchers active at the interfacebetween mathematics (broadly defined) and biology. This projectsupports the participation of approximately 15 domestic studentsand young scientists, selected from a national pool of applicantsgenerated by web and journal advertisements for the meeting. Anunusual feature of the meeting is an opening day of tutorials,which prepare the attendees for the lectures, with mathematicalscientists introducing basic principles to biologists andbiologists giving tutorials for the quantitative scientists. Twosessions focus on issues of importance to students working at theinterface between the computational sciences and biology.Students are especially welcome to attend the meeting and presentposters on their work. The Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology (PMMB)conducts research at the interface between molecular biology andthe mathematical sciences and trains students and postdocs inthis area. An essential part of this effort is a series ofconferences on mathematics and molecular biology. The meetingsprovide a comfortable but challenging environment where studentsand scientists from each discipline can learn about the otherdiscipline and about multidisciplinary approaches to the solutionof important problems in modern biology. This fostersinterdisciplinary training, catalyzes new interdisciplinarycollaborations, and in an important scientific area helps developmore people with both mathematics and biology expertise. Theproject supports students and junior scientists.
