The investigators organize the Gordon Research Conference onTheoretical Biology and Biomathematics. The conference has nineformal sessions, each consisting of 2-3 oral presentations withan introduction by a leading scientist in the area, and twoafternoon poster sessions. A wide variety of topics, rangingfrom global environmental models to mathematical neuroscience togenetic regulation networks, are represented. The unifying themeof the conference is quantitative modeling of complex biologicalnetworks. Invited speakers are selected on the basis of theirexpertise in the respective areas, at the same time emphasizinggender balance, minority representation, and incorporatingpromising junior researchers. The primary goal of this conference is to bring togetherestablished and young investigators from the field ofquantitative biology to share their approaches and progress andto discuss the perspectives. Such a multidisciplinary conferenceis very important for identifying challenges in biology,biotechnology, and medicine that require quantitative modelingand computational approach. Moreover, the participation ofstudents and postdocs helps to increase the number of peopleworking in areas of quantitative biology.
