Application Deadline is October 9

Biological systems are typically highly interconnected and complex. With technological advances, it is possible to collect massive amounts of data from these systems, but it is not always clear how to organize the information to draw conclusions and make predictions. In such cases, mathematical formulations are powerful tools allowing researchers to frame questions, explore patterns, and synthesize information. Augmenting and expanding computational algorithms, machine learning algorithms, and data science techniques is necessary to keep pace with the complexity of the models needed for predictive modeling. The interdisciplinary nature of mathematical biology requires a variety of skills and facilitating interaction among research groups and institutions is important to moving the discipline forward.

The workshop aims to build research collaboration among researchers in mathematical biology. Participants will spend a week making significant progress on a research project and foster innovation in the application of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the resolution of significant problems in the biosciences with the goal of publishing research results in a collected volume. The workshop will also include career development lunchtime sessions. Women and underrepresented gender identities are encouraged to apply.
