Relevant External Workshops and
Conferences Summer 2006 Overview
Details MSRI summer graduate workshop: mathematical aspects of computational biology (June 19-30) http://www.msri.org/calendar/sgw/WorkshopInfo/330/show_sgw This workshop will be specifically focused on the mathematical aspects of computational biology. We need a hierarchy of scales to understand and integrate the knowledge gained from the landmark undertaking of mapping the human genome sequence. Understanding of how the vast variety of biochemical compounds, including proteins and metabolites, interact with each other and form complex reaction networks is the next step. These networks comprise the complex cellular interaction networks of cell metabolism. Organism and population scales above these require yet different analysis tools. In this workshop we will focus on the first two scales: the genome and intracellular biochemical reaction networks, including gene regulatory networks. The course will be organized around the following datasets:
Workshop activities involving these data sets are as follows:
The workshop will provide background lectures in Biology and Mathematics. Deadline: April 15 Application format: Nomination from Dr. William G. Dwyer New Directions Short Course: Biophysical Fluid Dynamics (June 19-30)
http://www.ima.umn.edu/2005 From June 19-30, 2006 the IMA will host an intensive short course designed to efficiently provide researchers in the mathematical sciences and related disciplines the basic knowledge prerequisite to undertake research in fluid dynamics relevant to the biological realm. The course will be taught by Michael J. Shelley, Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute, NYU, and Raymond E. Goldstein, Professor of Physics and Applied Mathematics, at the University of Arizona. The primary audience for the course is mathematics faculty. No prior background in fluid dynamics or biophysics is expected. Participants will receive full travel and lodging support during the workshop. Deadline: April 1 Application format: Application form is online at http://www.ima.umn.edu/new-directions/NDcourse-app.php 9th PIMS Graduate Industrial Math Modelling Camp (GIMMC) (June 21-25) The GIMMC is the first leg of the PIMS Industrial Mathematics Forum which also includes the PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (IPSW 10) to be held June 26-30, 2006. Both events will take place at the IRMACS Centre at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada). The Graduate Industrial Mathematics Modeling Camp is designed to give graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences an opportunity to learn techniques of mathematical modeling under the supervision and guidance of experts in the field. Deadline: March 15 Application format: Application form is online at https://www.pims.math.ca/gimmc/form.php 10th PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (IPSW) (June 26-30) The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Science (PIMS) is pleased to announce the 10th PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop which will be held at the Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada), June 26-30, 2006. We invite graduate students and faculty to participate in this exciting and educational event. Deadline: March 15 Application format: Application form is online at https://www.pims.math.ca/ipsw/form.php Mathematical Modeling in Industry X - A Workshop for Graduate Students (August 9-18)
http://www.ima.umn.edu/2005 Students will work in teams of up to 6 students under the guidance of a mentor from industry. The mentor will help guide the students in the modeling process, analysis and computational work associated with a real-world industrial problem. A progress report from each team will be scheduled during the period. In addition, each team will be expected to make an oral final presentation and submit a written report at the end of the 10-day period. Projects and Industry MentorsThere will be 6 teams participating in the workshop. The following industry scientists have agreed to participate as mentors.
