Meeting Support: Modeling Across the Scales - Atoms to Organisms to be held January 5-10, 2002, in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Sumners0125000 数学与分子生物学项目（PMMB）的研究者和他的同事们组织了一次关于生物学和数学科学界面上多尺度现象的国际会议。这次会议包括一组广泛的多学科参与者、学生和活跃在数学（广义）和生物学界面上的研究人员。 该项目支持大约15名国内学生和年轻科学家参加会议，这些学生和科学家是从网络和期刊广告产生的国家申请人库中选出的。 会议的一个不寻常的特点是一个开放日的教程，这是准备与会者的讲座，与生物学家介绍基本原理的生物学家和生物学家给定量科学家的教程。 两个会议集中在重要的问题，以学生在计算科学和生物学之间的接口工作。学生特别欢迎参加会议，并提出他们的工作海报。 数学和分子生物学（PMMB）计划在分子生物学和数学科学之间的接口进行研究，并在这一领域培养学生和博士后。 这一努力的一个重要组成部分是一系列关于数学和分子生物学的会议。 会议提供了一个舒适但具有挑战性的环境，每个学科的学生和科学家都可以了解其他学科以及解决现代生物学重要问题的多学科方法。 这促进了跨学科的培训，促进了新的跨学科合作，并在一个重要的科学领域帮助培养更多的人同时拥有数学和生物学专业知识。 该项目支持学生和初级科学家。

Sumners0125000 The investigator and his colleagues in the Program inMathematics and Molecular Biology (PMMB) organize aninternational conference on the subject of multiscale phenomenaat the interface of the biological and mathematical sciences.This meeting includes a broadly multidisciplinary set ofparticipants, students and researchers active at the interfacebetween mathematics (broadly defined) and biology. This projectsupports the participation of approximately 15 domestic studentsand young scientists, selected from a national pool of applicantsgenerated by web and journal advertisements for the meeting. Anunusual feature of the meeting is an opening day of tutorials,which prepare the attendees for the lectures, with mathematicalscientists introducing basic principles to biologists andbiologists giving tutorials for the quantitative scientists. Twosessions focus on issues of importance to students working at theinterface between the computational sciences and biology.Students are especially welcome to attend the meeting and presentposters on their work. The Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology (PMMB)conducts research at the interface between molecular biology andthe mathematical sciences and trains students and postdocs inthis area. An essential part of this effort is a series ofconferences on mathematics and molecular biology. The meetingsprovide a comfortable but challenging environment where studentsand scientists from each discipline can learn about the otherdiscipline and about multidisciplinary approaches to the solutionof important problems in modern biology. This fostersinterdisciplinary training, catalyzes new interdisciplinarycollaborations, and in an important scientific area helps developmore people with both mathematics and biology expertise. Theproject supports students and junior scientists.
