The conference in Biology and Medicine through Mathematics (BAMM!) will take place May 30 - June 1, 2018 at Virginia Commonwealth University. The aim of the conference is to highlight recent developments in the broad fields of mathematical biology and medicine. The plenary speakers will cover a range of expertise and will provide highlights from advances in the field in recent years. The goals of this conference are to: i) provide a regional biomathematics conference that promotes junior investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty); ii) give visibility to a range of applications and methods in mathematical biology; iii) provide a good environment for networking between junior and senior researchers. The conference will host approximately 100 attendees. The conference will be a mix of plenary talks, break-out sessions and a poster session. Travel support will be used to increase the accessibility of the conference by junior researchers.Junior researchers (undergraduates and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and early career faculty) will benefit from participating in this meeting. BAMM! will provide an intimate conference environment with opportunities to present a poster or give a talk for researchers at all levels. The travel award funds will promote junior presenters attendance at BAMM!. Given the diversity of the planned talks, student researchers new to the field will have the opportunity to attend talks from many subfields. This will be an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and master's students from VCU and other regional institutions. Participation of women and underrepresented minorities in mathematics and science will be encouraged and supported.

通过数学的生物和医学会议(BAMM！)将于2018年5月30日至6月1日在弗吉尼亚联邦大学举行。这次会议的目的是强调数学、生物学和医学等广泛领域的最新发展。全体发言者将涉及一系列专门知识，并将重点介绍近年来该领域取得的进展。这次会议的目标是：i)提供一个促进初级研究人员(研究生、博士后研究员和初级教员)的地区性生物数学会议；ii)宣传数学生物学中的一系列应用和方法；iii)为初级和高级研究人员之间的联系提供一个良好的环境。会议将接待约100名与会者。这次会议将包括全体会议、分组会议和海报会议。初级研究人员(本科生和研究生、博士后学者和早期职业教师)将从参加这次会议中受益。巴姆！将为所有级别的研究人员提供一个亲密的会议环境，有机会展示海报或发表演讲。旅游奖励基金将促进初级演讲者参加BAMM！考虑到计划讲座的多样性，新进入该领域的学生研究人员将有机会参加来自许多子领域的讲座。对于VCU和其他地区院校的本科生和硕士研究生来说，这将是一个绝佳的机会。将鼓励和支持妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体参与数学和科学。更多信息可在http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/bammThis奖项上找到，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
