Building Bridges to the Balkans-Mathematical Biology in Sofia 2014, June 22-27, 2014

2014年生物科学和青年科学家学院数学方法和模型国际会议(BIOMATH 2014)将于2014年6月22日至27日在保加利亚索非亚由保加利亚科学院主办。BIOMATH 2014会议的重点是流行病学和癌症建模中的建模、数学分析和数值模拟之间的相互作用，以及其他数学生物学领域。对初级教师和高级研究生的指导和培训是BIOMATH 2014大会的核心部分。该奖项支持在美国的高级研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师在没有获得其他资助的情况下参加。将优先支持在数学科学中代表性不足的群体的学生和新博士。有许多美国研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教师在数学和生物的交界处工作。该奖项将使这些在美国的研究人员能够参加BIOMATH 2014会议。BIOMATH 2014大会将为他们的参与提供一个独特的机会，一个极好的教育体验，并与一些数学生物学领域最活跃和最领先的研究人员进行指导和互动。会议将成为促进和支持他们职业发展的一种工具。预计这次会议将促进来自美国和东欧的BIOMATH与会者之间的许多成功的跨学科合作。欲了解有关2014年生物医学大会的更多信息，请访问http://www.biomath.bg/2014/index.php.。

The 2014 International Conference on Mathematical Methods and Models in Biosciences and Young Scientists School (BIOMATH 2014) will be hosted by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences during June 22-27, 2014 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The BIOMATH 2014 conference focuses on the interplay between modeling, mathematical analysis, and numerical simulation in epidemiology and cancer modeling, among other mathematical biology fields. Mentoring and training of junior faculty and advanced graduate students is a central part of the BIOMATH 2014 conference. This award supports participation by US-based advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty without access to other grant support. Priority will be given to the support of students and new doctorates from groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.There are many U.S. graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and beginning faculty working at the interface of mathematics and biology. The award will enable such US-based researchers to attend the BIOMATH 2014 conference. The BIOMATH 2014 conference will provide a unique opportunity for their participation, an excellent educational experience, and mentoring and interaction with some of the most active and leading researchers in mathematical biology. The meeting will serve as a vehicle for enhancing and supporting their career developments. It is expected that the conference will catalyze many successful interdisciplinary collaborations between the BIOMATH participants from the United States and Eastern Europe.
