Frontiers in Mathematical Biology: DMS/NIGMS PIs Meeting 2010

本次研讨会是，在一定程度上，已由联合DMS/NIGMS倡议资助的主要研究人员的会议，以支持数学生物学领域的研究。 然而，它也包括那些没有得到该计划支持的研究人员，但他们的兴趣在于生物科学和数学科学之间的界面。 会议的目的是促进生物学和数学界之间的合作，促进生物和生物医学研究的发展。 具体目标是为PI提供一个分享经验、交流想法和探索新合作的论坛;向NSF和NIH项目官员通报促进生物科学和数学科学之间的科学进步以及建立和维持成功合作的机遇和挑战生物学家和数学家/统计学家;并找出生物学中需要创新数学方法的“大”问题。 该研讨会包括涵盖了广泛的生物和数学研究，以及海报介绍的发言者，并将于2010年4月26日至27日在马里兰州大学举行。

This workshop is, in part, a meeting of the Principal Investigators that have been funded by the Joint DMS/NIGMS Initiative to Support Research in the Area of Mathematical Biology. However, it also includes researchers who have not been supported by the program, but whose interests lie at the interface between the biological and mathematical sciences. The purpose of the meeting is to promote collaborations between the biology and mathematics communities, facilitating the advance of biological and biomedical research. Specific aims are to provide a forum for PIs to share experiences, exchange ideas, and explore new collaborations; to inform NSF and NIH program officials of opportunities and challenges in promoting scientific advances at the interface between biological and mathematical sciences, and establishing and sustaining successful collaborations between biologists and mathematicians/statisticians; and to identify "big" problems in biology that require innovative mathematical approaches. The workshop includes speakers covering a wide range of biological and mathematical research, as well as poster presentations, and will be held at the University of Maryland on April 26-27, 2010.
