(QEIB) Accelerating Mathematical-Biological Linkages - Symposium

我们对生物科学中基本问题的理解需要新的方法、新的合作，也许还需要涉及高度定量和数学方法的新的科学研究方法。数学和生物科学是努力模糊数学/统计和生物学科之间界限的方法。需要新的合作伙伴关系、新的培训项目和新的想法来促进整合前沿数学和生物工具的研究。为期1.5天的研讨会将汇集来自生物科学和数学/统计科学的高级和初级研究人员。第一天将有主题演讲和六场演讲，以突出数学与生物界面的机遇和挑战。在第二天，一组大约30人将一起工作半天，集思广益的想法，倡议和活动，将加强数学与生物的联系。其目的是，这次研讨会将激发校园、社会会议和机构内部的许多其他活动，这些活动应该在促进有助于解决我们社会面临的复杂问题的研究类型方面产生协同效应。

Our understanding of fundamental problems in the biological sciences requires newapproaches, new collaborations, and perhaps new ways of doing science that involve highlyquantitative and mathematical approaches. The mathematical and biological sciences areripe for efforts to blur the boundaries between mathematical/statistical and biologicaldisciplines. New partnerships, new training programs, and new ideas are needed to promoteresearch that integrates cutting-edge math and biological tools. A 1.5 day workshop isproposed to bring together senior and junior investigators from the biological sciencesand the mathematical/statistical sciences. A keynote address and six talks will be givenon day 1 to highlight the opportunities and challenges at the math-bio interface. On daytwo, a group of approximately 30 will work together for a half day to brainstorm ideas,initiatives, and activities that will enhance math-bio linkages. The intention is thatthis workshop will stimulate many other activities on campuses, at society meetings, andwithin agencies that together should have synergistic effects in promoting the type ofresearch that will help solve complex problems faced by our society.
