Our understanding of fundamental problems in the biological sciences requires newapproaches, new collaborations, and perhaps new ways of doing science that involve highlyquantitative and mathematical approaches. The mathematical and biological sciences areripe for efforts to blur the boundaries between mathematical/statistical and biologicaldisciplines. New partnerships, new training programs, and new ideas are needed to promoteresearch that integrates cutting-edge math and biological tools. A 1.5 day workshop isproposed to bring together senior and junior investigators from the biological sciencesand the mathematical/statistical sciences. A keynote address and six talks will be givenon day 1 to highlight the opportunities and challenges at the math-bio interface. On daytwo, a group of approximately 30 will work together for a half day to brainstorm ideas,initiatives, and activities that will enhance math-bio linkages. The intention is thatthis workshop will stimulate many other activities on campuses, at society meetings, andwithin agencies that together should have synergistic effects in promoting the type ofresearch that will help solve complex problems faced by our society.

我们对生物科学中基本问题的理解需要新的方法，新的合作，也许还需要新的科学方法，这些方法涉及到高度定量和数学的方法。数学和生物科学已经成熟，可以努力模糊数学/统计和生物学科之间的界限。需要新的伙伴关系、新的培训计划和新的想法来促进整合尖端数学和生物工具的研究。一个为期1.5天的研讨会，建议汇集来自生物科学和数学/统计科学的高级和初级研究人员。第一天将有一个主题演讲和六个演讲，以突出数学生物界面的机遇和挑战。在第二天，大约30人的小组将一起工作半天，集思广益，倡议和活动，将加强数学和生物的联系。我们的意图是，这个研讨会将刺激许多其他活动在校园里，在社会会议上，并在机构内，一起应该有协同效应，促进类型的研究，这将有助于解决我们的社会所面临的复杂问题。
