提案号：oise -0929596首席研究员：Urszula ledzewicz机构：南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔分校标题：美国-以色列研讨会：系统生物学中的数学方法，特拉维夫，以色列，2010年1月4-7日PI正在组织一个研讨会？系统生物学中的数学方法，？该会议将于2010年1月4日至7日在以色列特拉维夫的特拉维夫大学举行。研讨会的目标是将系统生物学各个领域的应用数学家和研究人员聚集在一起，以交流思想，发起和促进合作，这些合作是由癌症建模、检测和治疗、流行病学和传染病、计算机辅助诊断和医学成像等领域出现的问题所驱动的。系统生物学是生物学和医学交界的一个活跃的发展领域，其最近的部分进展证明了数学方法的应用。组织这次研讨会的动机是提高人们对数学工具的认识，这些工具在分析和理解生物现象方面已经被证明是有用的。这方面的开创性工作已在美国和以色列开展，并在这两个国家继续发展。计划中的讲习班将为美国和以色列数学家和生物学家之间的接触提供机会，从而促进在研究小组之间建立更长期的关系。本次研讨会还为应用数学家、生物学和医学研究人员之间的密切互动提供了一个急需的平台。组委会强烈认为数学对医学和生物界有很大的贡献，数学的方法和技术可以加深对系统生物学中许多问题的理解。本次研讨会将向应用数学家介绍系统生物学中具有挑战性和开放性的问题，这些问题可以从数学工具的应用中受益，同时向系统生物学家展示数学方法可以为解决问题带来的新选择。该研讨会有望发起新的合作并加强现有的合作，同时将新的数学家和科学家带入这个令人兴奋的跨学科领域。研讨会的成果将作为期刊的特刊发表。数学、生物科学与工程？此外，还将通过研讨会网站促进进一步的研究联系和合作。该项目由数学科学部的计算数学和数学生物学项目共同资助。

Proposal Number: OISE-0929596Principal Investigator: Urszula LedzewiczInstitution: Southern Illinois University at EdwardsvilleTitle: US-Israel Workshop: Mathematical Methods in Systems Biology, Tel Aviv, Israel, January 4-7, 2010The PI is organizing a workshop ?Mathematical Methods in Systems Biology,? which will take place January 4-7, 2010, at Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel. The workshop goals are to bring together applied mathematicians and researchers working in various fields of systems biology in order to exchange ideas and initiate and promote collaborations motivated by problems arising in fields such as cancer modeling, detection and treatment, epidemiology and infectious diseases, computer-assisted diagnosis, and medical imaging. Systems biology is an actively growing field at the interface of biology and medicine and part of its recent progress attests to the application of mathematical methods. The motivation behind organizing this workshop is to increase the awareness of mathematical tools that have proven useful in analyzing and understanding biological phenomena. Pioneering work in this direction has been performed in the United States and Israel and continues to evolve in these two countries. The planned workshop will provide an opportunity for contacts between US and Israeli mathematicians and biologists and thus facilitate the establishment of more prolonged relationships between research groups. This workshop also provides a much needed platform for close interactions between applied mathematicians, biological and medical researchers. The organizing committee feels strongly that mathematics has much to offer to the medical and biological communities and that methods and techniques from mathematics can deepen the understanding of many problems in systems biology. This workshop will introduce applied mathematicians to challenging and open problems from systems biology that can benefit from an application of mathematical tools and, at the same time, show system biologists new options that mathematical methods can bring to the solution of their problems. The workshop is expected to initiate new collaborations and strengthen existing collaborations while at the same time bringing new mathematicians and scientists into this exciting interdisciplinary field. The results of the workshop will be disseminated by publishing proceedings as a special issue in the journal ?Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering? and further research contacts and collaborations will be fostered through the workshop web site. This project was co-funded by the Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Biology program in the Mathematical Sciences division.
