Gordon Conference on Theoretical Biology and Biomathematics

研究人员组织了戈登理论生物学和生物数学研究会议。会议有九个正式会议，每个会议包括2-3个口头报告，由该领域的一位主要科学家介绍，以及两个下午的海报会议。各种各样的主题，从全球环境模型到数学神经科学到遗传调节网络，都有代表。会议的统一主题是复杂生物网络的定量建模。受邀演讲者是根据他们在各自领域的专业知识选择的，同时强调性别平衡，少数民族代表性，并纳入有前途的初级研究人员。本次会议的主要目标是汇集来自定量生物学领域的成熟和年轻研究人员，分享他们的方法和进展，并讨论观点。这样一个多学科的会议对于识别生物学、生物技术和医学中需要定量建模和计算方法的挑战非常重要。此外，学生和博士后的参与有助于增加在定量生物学领域工作的人数。

The investigators organize the Gordon Research Conference onTheoretical Biology and Biomathematics. The conference has nineformal sessions, each consisting of 2-3 oral presentations withan introduction by a leading scientist in the area, and twoafternoon poster sessions. A wide variety of topics, rangingfrom global environmental models to mathematical neuroscience togenetic regulation networks, are represented. The unifying themeof the conference is quantitative modeling of complex biologicalnetworks. Invited speakers are selected on the basis of theirexpertise in the respective areas, at the same time emphasizinggender balance, minority representation, and incorporatingpromising junior researchers. The primary goal of this conference is to bring togetherestablished and young investigators from the field ofquantitative biology to share their approaches and progress andto discuss the perspectives. Such a multidisciplinary conferenceis very important for identifying challenges in biology,biotechnology, and medicine that require quantitative modelingand computational approach. Moreover, the participation ofstudents and postdocs helps to increase the number of peopleworking in areas of quantitative biology.
