Conference on Biology and Medicine through Mathematics

通过数学生物学和医学会议将于2019年5月15日至17日在弗吉尼亚联邦大学举行。会议将介绍数学、生物学和医学等广泛领域的最新发展。会议将：（1）是一个区域性的数学生物学会议，促进初级研究人员，从学生，博士后研究员，初级教师;（2）提供可见性的广泛的应用和方法在数学生物学;和（3）提供一个刺激的环境，初级和高级研究人员之间的网络，由会议的规模（约100名与会者）培育。将展示四位全体演讲者的最高质量的科学研究。此外，将有一个混合的全体会谈，分组网络会议，和海报会议。将为初级研究人员提供差旅费支持。该项目将提供一个亲密的会议环境，有机会向各级研究人员展示海报或进行研讨会演讲。初级研究人员将直接受益于这些机会，因为旅行奖励资金将有助于促进初级演讲者的出席。鉴于研究主题的多样性（包括生态学，进化论，流行病学，医学，神经科学和流体动力学的主题），研究相对较新的学生将有机会参加来自许多子领域的讲座。此外，这次会议是一个很好的机会，本科生和硕士生从VCU和其他区域机构。将特别鼓励和支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与数学和科学。关于这次会议的更多信息可以在www.example.com上找到https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/bamm/This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The Conference on Biology and Medicine through Mathematics will take place on May 15-17, 2019, at Virginia Commonwealth University. The conference will feature recent developments in the broad areas of mathematical biology and medicine. The conference will: (1) be a regional mathematical biology conference that promotes junior investigators that range from students, postdoctoral fellows, to junior faculty; (2) give visibility to a wide range of applications and methods in mathematical biology; and (3) provide a stimulating environment for networking between junior and senior researchers, fostered by the size of the conference (approximately 100 attendees). Scientific research of the highest quality from four plenary speakers will be showcased. In addition, there will be a mix of plenary talks, break-out networking sessions, and a poster session. Travel support will be provided to junior researchers.This project will provide an intimate conference environment with opportunities to present a poster or give a seminar talk to researchers at all levels. Junior researchers will directly benefit from these opportunities because the travel award funds will help promote attendance by junior presenters. Given the diversity of the research topics (that includes topics from Ecology, Evolution, Epidemiology, Medicine, Neuroscience and Fluid Dynamics), students relatively new to research will have the opportunity to attend talks from many subfields. Moreover, this conference is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and master's students from VCU and other regional institutions. Participation of women and underrepresented minorities in mathematics and science will be especially encouraged and supported.
