Midwest Quantitative Biology Conference

为期三天的会议将于2006年9月29日至10月1日期间在密歇根州的麦基纳克岛举行。这次会议将汇集所有职业阶段的研究人员和研究生，他们主要来自中西部地区，他们从事定量生物科学工作。这次会议将极大地促进生物科学中数学建模和科学计算领域的研究和教学的进步。这次会议将成为促进数学科学家和生物科学家之间研究交流与合作的论坛，他们致力于研究生物学中的基本问题，从基因调控、细胞结构和过程到系统和宏观现象。除了一流研究机构生物和数学科学家之间的交叉受精之外，这次会议还将影响和振兴许多中西部地区学院和教学大学的教育发展。将作出特别努力，确保学生、初级研究人员、大学教职员工，特别是妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人的广泛参与。

A three-day meeting will be held during the period September 29-October 1, 2006 on Mackinac Island, Michigan. This meeting will bring together researchers of all career stages and graduate students, mainly from the Midwestern area, who work in quantitative biological sciences. The conference will greatly contribute to the advancement of research and teaching in the area of mathematical modeling and scientific computing in the biological sciences. The conference will serve as a forum to foster research exchange and collaboration between mathematical scientists and biological scientists who are addressing fundamental problems in biology from gene regulation, cellular structure and processes to systems and macroscopic phenomena.In addition to the cross-fertilization between biological and mathematical scientists at first tier research institutions, this conference will influence and invigorate the educational developments in many Midwestern regional colleges and teaching universities. Special efforts will be made to ensure a broad participation by students, junior researchers, college faculties, especially women, under-represented minorities and persons with disabilities.
