Meetings/Workshops on Applied Maths: Biology in the United Kingdom

Conference-Service.com offers, as part of our business activities, a directory of upcoming scientific and technical meetings. The calendar is published for the convenience of conference participants and we strive to support conference organisers who need to publish their upcoming events. Although great care is being taken to ensure the correctness of all entries, we cannot accept any liability that may arise from the presence, absence or incorrectness of any particular information on this website. Always check with the meeting organizer before making arrangements to participate in an event!

Meeting organizers can submit meetings free of charge for inclusion into the listing.

1.go to top of page[ID=157789]EPIDEMIOLOGY — Introduction to Mathematical Models of the EPIDEMIOLOGY & CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
01 Sep 2008 → 12 Sep 2008; London, United Kingdom

abstract: Our understanding of infectious-disease epidemiology and control has been greatly increased in recent years through mathematical modelling. Insights from this increasingly-important and exciting field are now informing policymaking at the highest levels, for pandemic influenza, SARS, HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, foot-and-mouth disease and other infections.

This course is the ideal introduction for mathematical modellers who are considering entering this exciting field, and many past participants have been mathematicians. Course teachers have backgrounds in mathematics, physics, statistics, molecular biology, microbiology, and epidemiology, and are highly experienced in multi-disciplinary collaboration. The course emphasises how to express biological and clinical principles mathematically, and how to interpret results from a biological and clinical perspective.

Since 1990, this short course has introduced epidemiological modelling to public-health professionals, policy makers, and medical and veterinary researchers, and kept them up-to-date with what they need to know about this fast-moving field. It is taught by active researchers in the world-leading Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, which advises public health agencies, governments, international organisations, and pharmaceutical companies, and hosts the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis & Modelling, UNAIDS Epidemiology Reference Group secretariat, Partnership for Child Development, and the Gates Foundation-funded Schistosomiasis Control Initiative that has treated over 12 million children to date in six countries in Africa.

topics: Infectious diseases and mathematical models, models and policy, interventions against HIV, schistosomiasis: from models to data, designing infectious-disease models, estimating key parameters from an outbreak of influenza, HIV, UNAIDS and models for a global pandemic, introduction to stochasticity

30 Mar 2009 → 01 Apr 2009; Cambridge, United Kingdom

abstract: Following 2 previous Noise in Life meetings in Spain (2006) and Germany (2007), "Noise in Life 2009" will focus on cell signaling, regulation of gene expression and neuronal dynamics. There is a nice balance between these three topics to make for an exciting meeting which will improve our understanding of the emergence of mesoscopic dynamics in cell physiology. We will combine communities from the biosciences, nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, applied mathematics and scientific computing, and gather together expertise in realistic modeling, multi-scale simulations and experimental biology.

16.go to top of page[ID=173962]The Cardiac Physiome Project
29 Jul 2009 → 24 Jul 2009; Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, , United Kingdom

abstract: Predicting physiological behaviour from experimental data combined with environmental influences is a compelling, but unfulfilled, goal of post-genomic biology. This undeniably ambitious goal is the aim of the Physiome Project and its subset the Cardiome Project which is an international effort to build a biophysically based multi-scale mathematical model of the heart. To achieve this goal requires further development of the current generation of advanced cardiac models which span an already diverse set of mathematical representations from stochastic sub-cellular regulation models to whole organ based sets of coupled partial differential equations. The focus of this programme will be on the development and application of the mathematical techniques which underpin the ongoing extension of this approach.
