Description The life
sciences have
become increasingly quantitative as new technologies facilitate
collection and analysis of vast amounts of data ranging from complete
genomic sequences of organisms to satellite imagery of forest
landscapes on continental scales. As a consequence, mathematics and
computational science have become crucial technologies for the study of
complex models of biological processes.
The SIAM Activity Group on Life Sciences brings together researchers
who seek to develop and apply mathematical and computational methods in
all areas of the life sciences. This conference of the activity group
will provide a cross-disciplinary forum for catalyzing mathematical
research relevant to the life sciences. It will facilitate rapid
diffusion of new mathematical and computational methods in the life
sciences, and may stimulate more researchers to work in these important
areas. Mathematicians, life scientists, computational biologists,
bioengineers and others interested in mathematical and computational
analysis of biological systems are encouraged to attend.
