0737537RadunskayaThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S. New Zealand seminar on applications of mathematics to biomedical problems that will be held in New Zealand. The co-organizers are Professor Ami Radunskaya in the Mathematics Department at Pomona College in Claremont, California and Thomas Rades at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. It will also include participants from Europe. Medical researchers are often unaware of the power of current mathematical models, or are suspicious of their validity. This meeting will bring together mathematicians and medical researchers in order to open a dialogue which will result in the exchange of information, techniques and methodology that could lead to solutions of problems motivated by medical issues. The participants have expertise in such areas as mathematical modeling of biological systems, the analysis and simulation of these models, optimal control theory, experimental immunology and pharmacology. The meeting will enrich the knowledge of mathematical modeling by applying methods from dynamical systems, simulation and control theory to problems in immunotherapy, antiangiogenesis and treatment delivery methods. This seminar will immediately follow a joint meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the New Zealand Society of Mathematics that will take place in mid December, 2007 in Wellington, New Zealand. The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best researchers to participate in the meetings. It is the organizers' intent to publish the proceedings of the meeting in a special issue of Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering. In addition, the participants will develop a web site which will include the seminar presentations as well as items of importance following the meeting. Participants also plan to develop collaborative research proposals for submission to funding agencies. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve graduate students who will spend some additional time gaining additional experience in the local university laboratories in Wellington.

0737537 Radunskaya该奖项支持美国科学家参加将在新西兰举行的美国新西兰生物医学问题数学应用研讨会。联合组织者是加利福尼亚州克莱蒙特波莫纳学院数学系的阿米·拉东斯卡娅教授和新西兰达尼丁奥塔戈大学的托马斯·雷德斯。它还将包括来自欧洲的参与者。医学研究人员往往没有意识到当前数学模型的力量，或者对其有效性持怀疑态度。这次会议将使数学家和医学研究人员汇聚一堂，以便展开对话，交流信息、技术和方法，从而解决医学问题引发的问题。参与者在生物系统的数学建模、这些模型的分析和模拟、最优控制理论、实验免疫学和药理学等领域拥有专业知识。会议将通过将动力学系统、模拟和控制理论的方法应用于免疫治疗、抗血管生成和治疗给药方法中的问题，丰富数学建模知识。这次研讨会紧随美国数学学会和新西兰数学学会将于2007年12月中旬在新西兰惠灵顿举行的联席会议之后举行。联合组织者在该领域拥有互补的科学专业知识。这使他们能够评估并吸引最好的研究人员参加会议。主办方打算在《数学、生物科学和工程》特刊上发表会议记录。此外，与会者将开发一个网站，其中将包括研讨会介绍以及会议后的重要项目。与会者还计划制定合作研究提案，提交给资助机构。研讨会组织者特别努力让研究生参与进来，他们将花一些额外的时间在惠灵顿当地的大学实验室获得更多的经验。
