Life Sciences 2002: First SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences | |
United States - MA - Boston |

Hosted by: | Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics |
Venue: | Boston Park Plaza Hotel |
Dates: | Mar 06, 2002 through Mar 08, 2002 |
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 new SIAM Activity Group on the Life Sciences brings together researchers who seek to develop and apply mathematical and computational methods in all areas of the life sciences. This inaugural 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. This conference represents the first official function organized by this new SIAG. SIAG/LS and the newly formed SIAG on Imaging Science (SIAG/IS) were both created in recognition of the fact that the mathematics community should participate more directly in these non-traditional areas. Since these two activity groups have such a strong overlap in the area of biomedical imaging, this conference has been scheduled to overlap with the Conference on Imaging Science, chaired by David C. Wilson, set for March 4-6, 2002. |
