2011 Workshop for Young Researchers in Mathematical Biology (WYRMB)

August 29 - September 1, 2011

Organizers: MBI Postdocs

The workshop is intended to broaden the scientific perspective of young researchers (primarily junior faculty, postdocs, and senior graduate students) in mathematical biology and to encourage interactions with other scientists.

Workshop activities include plenary talks and poster sessions, as well as group discussions on issues relevant to mathematical biologists. Several abstracts will be chosen for short talks as well as to be presented as a poster.

We cordially invite young mathematical biologists to participate. Click here to apply.
