Conference: Dynamical Systems in the Life Sciences. Satellite Workshop of the 2023 Annual SMB Meeting

该奖项将支持一个名为“生命科学中的动力系统”（https://sites.google.com/d.umn.edu/dsls2023/home）的研讨会，该研讨会将于2023年7月13日至15日在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行，在计划于同一地点举行的2023年数学生物学学会（SMB）年会的前一周举行。研讨会将汇集来自现代数学生物学社区的不同背景、不同专业知识和经验的研究人员。这将为在动力系统和生命科学领域有共同兴趣的研究人员之间促进合作互动提供一个极好的机会。在会谈、海报会议和社会活动中的讨论将提供充分的机会来分享不同的观点并提出新的科学项目。除了特邀演讲外，工作坊第一天和第二天将有两个近两小时的海报环节，以及专题演讲环节。这些机会旨在为初级研究人员，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员提供一个展示他们的研究并积极参与应用动力系统理论及其在现代生命科学中的应用问题的平台。研讨会将强调数学的新进展，特别是动力系统理论，这些进展受到生物学应用的启发。因此，讲习班期间的大多数会谈将为30-35分钟，技术上详细，为跨学科互动创造更好的机会。研讨会的形式也有望吸引数学生物学社区的广泛代表，包括来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员，早期职业研究人员和R2大学的研究人员。研讨会演讲的具体主题将包括：生物力学模型、癌症建模、心血管和自身免疫性疾病的自由边界问题、模式形成、体内平衡模型和疾病传播。研讨会还将有助于促进跨职业阶段的指导，并使早期职业研究人员（特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的研究人员）接触到现代跨学科STEM研究最重要领域之一的新研究和合作机会。研讨会的演讲和材料将通过会议网站和杰出的数学生物学杂志《数学生物科学》的特刊在数学生物学界广泛传播。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support a workshop entitled “Dynamical Systems in the Life Sciences” (https://sites.google.com/d.umn.edu/dsls2023/home), to be held in Columbus, Ohio from July 13-15, 2023, in the week preceding the planned 2023 Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) annual meeting at the same location. The workshop will bring together a diverse mix of researchers representing a broad spectrum of backgrounds and diverse expertise and experience within the modern mathematical biology community. This will provide an excellent opportunity for fostering collaborative interactions among researchers with common interests in dynamical systems and in life sciences. The discussions during talks, poster sessions and social events will give ample opportunity to share different perspectives and suggest new scientific projects. Besides invited talks, there will be two nearly two-hour poster sessions during day 1 and day 2 of the workshop, along with contributed talk sessions. These opportunities are designated to provide junior researchers, especially those from under-represented groups, with a platform to to present their research and actively engage in the problems of theory of applied dynamical systems and its applications in modern life sciences.The workshop will emphasize new advancements in mathematics, especially the dynamical systems theory, that were inspired by biological applications. Accordingly, a majority of talks during the workshop will be 30-35 minutes and technically detailed, creating better opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions. The workshop format also promises to attract a broad representation of the mathematical biology community, including researchers from underrepresented groups, early career researchers, and researchers from R2 universities. The specific topics covered by the workshop presentations will include: biomechanical models, cancer modeling, free boundary problems in cardiovascular and autoimmune disease, pattern formation, models of homeostasis and diseases spread. The workshop will also help foster mentoring across career stages and expose early-career researchers (particularly those from the underrepresented groups) to new research and collaboration opportunities in one of the most important areas of modern interdisciplinary STEM research. The workshop presentations and materials will be disseminated broadly across the mathematical biology community through the conference website and a special issue in the pre-eminent mathematical biology journal, Mathematical Biosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
