Description
 

Graduate students in math, biology and related fields are encouraged to apply to the 2017 Graduate Summer Program on Connecting Biological Data with Mathematical Models, to be held June 19-23, 2017, at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) at the University of Tennessee–Knoxville.

Providing students with broad high-level training in mathematical biology, the program includes lectures on techniques and modeling using specific data sets, computer activities focusing on learning techniques, and feedback sessions on participants’ research problems. Some techniques to be covered include maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches to inference, parameter estimation, model identifiability, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis

Researchers from the mathematical and biological sciences will be featured speakers, including Ben Bolker (McMaster University); Ariel Cintron-Arias (East Tennessee State University); Marisa Eisenberg (School of Public Health, University of Michigan); Nina Fefferman (University of Tennessee, Knoxville); Simeone Marino (University of Michigan Medical School); and Joseph Tien (The Ohio State University).

Co-sponsors: NIMBioS, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI, Ohio State), and the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM)

Application Deadline: Applications for acceptance to the school received before February 3, 2017 will receive full consideration.

The registration fee of $300, which includes on-campus housing and meals, is due upon acceptance. Participants are responsible for their own travel to Knoxville. A very limited amount of travel support is available for those demonstrating need.
