First announcement of the international conference on
THEORY AND MATHEMATICS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 1999
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
June 29 - July 3, 1999
The international conference on Theory and Mathematics in Biology and
Medicine 1999 aims to stimulate collaboration between mathematicians and
bioscientists and to act as the main forum for the exchange of recent
research results and new perspectives in the fields of Theoretical Biology
and Medicine. This is the 4th of the official meetings, taking place every
3 years under auspices of the European Society for Mathematical and
Theoretical Biology (ESMTB). In addition, it will be joint with the annual
meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology (SMB). The Netherlands
Society for Theoretical Biology is responsible for the local
organization. Through these links, this will be the first World Congress
devoted to a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary domain of science where
experimental biology and medicine, biochemistry, mathematics, computational
science, physics and various fields of technology all come together.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The conference will cover the theory and mathematics from all disciplines
within Biology and Medicine, including immunology, epidemiology, evolution,
ecology, molecular biology, cell signalling, tumor growth and treatment,
morphogenesis, pattern formation, metabolic modeling, protein folding,
neuromodeling, computational biology, cardiovascular modeling, and
biomechanics. In addition, special sessions will be organized around
focused topics that are particularly new or rapidly gaining
importance. Participants are strongly encouraged to forward suggestions
regarding the scientific program to:
tmbm99@bio.vu.nl
Please mail suggestions as soon as possible, but no later than
August 15, 1998.
