Second Young Researchers Workshop in Mathematical Biology
March 27 - 30, 2006
Organizers: MBI Postdocs
To provide a forum for young mathematical biologists to interact with their peers, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute hosted the Second Young Researchers Workshop in Mathematical Biology. The workshop brang together approximately 45 young researchers in mathematical biology to broaden their scientific perspective and to develop connections that will be important for their future careers.
We cordially invited postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty to apply for participation in this workshop. A limited number of advanced graduate students were also accepted.
Each participant presented a poster of current research and gave a five-minute advertisement of the poster. The workshop also featured working group discussions on broad issues relevant to researchers in mathematical biology.
Plenary talks were given by leading researchers in mathematical biology:
- Catherine Carr, University of Maryland
- Leah Edelstein-Keshet, University of British Columbia
- Bard Ermentrout, University of Pittsburgh
- Philip Maini, Oxford University
- Hans Othmer, University of Minnesota
- Timothy Secomb, University of Arizona
- Arthur Sherman, National Institutes of Health
- Kristin Swanson, University of Washington
