The 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Theoretical Biology and Biomathematics will be held June 22 - 27 at Il Ciocco, Lucca (Barga) Italy. The goal of this conference is to bring together established and young investigators from the field of quantitative biology to share new approaches and discuss advances in this exciting and rapidly growing field of biology. Nine sessions are planned on the topics: Signaling and Bacterial Chemotaxis, Cancer, Cell Division, Collective Animal Motion, Mechanics and Neurophysiology of Locomotion, Protein Receptor Signaling and Transport, Oscillations in Biology, Stochastic Modeling in Biology, and Complex Fluids in Biology. The breadth of topics covers many spatial and temporal scales of biological phenomena. Each session will begin with an introduction to the field by the session chair followed by two or three invited talks. In addition to the formal sessions, there will be two afternoon poster sessions. The session chairs and invited speakers are either established leaders or energetic new researchers who are at the forefront of quantitative biology. Invited speakers have been selected based on their expertise and accomplishments, while trying to balance gender, minority representation, and seniority.The conference's multidisciplinary nature fosters new collaborations between biologists and researchers from the mathematical sciences. It provides an ideal setting for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with leaders in the field of theoretical biology.The novel, European, setting for this year's conference provides a unique opportunity to broaden contacts between scientists and students from North America and those from Europe, Asia, and Africa. The breadth of topics represented at the meeting exposes researchers to new mathematical and computational tools that are being developed in fields different from their own. The conference provides a collegial and inclusive environment that encourages the participation of women and other groups that are underrepresented in science.

2008年戈登理论生物学和生物数学研究会议将于6月22日至27日在卢卡（巴尔加）意大利的伊尔乔科举行。 本次会议的目标是汇集来自定量生物学领域的成熟和年轻的研究人员，分享新方法，并讨论这一令人兴奋和快速发展的生物学领域的进展。 九个会议计划的主题：信号和细菌趋化性，癌症，细胞分裂，集体动物运动，运动力学和神经生理学，蛋白质受体信号和运输，生物学中的振荡，生物学中的随机建模，生物学中的复杂流体。 主题的广度涵盖了生物现象的许多空间和时间尺度。 每次会议将开始与介绍该领域的会议主席其次是两个或三个邀请会谈。除了正式会议外，还将有两个下午的海报会议。会议主席和特邀演讲者要么是既定的领导者，要么是处于定量生物学前沿的充满活力的新研究人员。 受邀演讲者是根据他们的专业知识和成就来选择的，同时试图平衡性别，少数民族代表和资历。会议的多学科性质促进了生物学家和数学科学研究人员之间的新合作。它为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个与理论生物学领域的领导者互动的理想环境。今年会议的新颖欧洲环境为扩大来自北美和欧洲、亚洲和非洲的科学家和学生之间的联系提供了一个独特的机会。 会议上所代表的主题的广度使研究人员接触到在不同领域开发的新的数学和计算工具。 会议提供了一个合议和包容的环境，鼓励妇女和其他在科学领域代表性不足的群体参与。
