The scientific focus of the Biomedical Modeling School will be on introducing the school student to the theory and practice of modeling processes in human disease and physiology with applications to cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular and respiratory control systems. The purpose of both the School and the Workshop is to bring together experts in the scientific disciplines of mathematics, medicine and physiology, physics and engineering to develop insights into modeling processes in human disease and physiology with special emphasis on developing cross disciplinary collaborations. Courses are designed for Post Doctoral researchers, PhD and masters students, and established scientists who want to gain insight into the area of modeling physiological systems. The talks in the workshop will cover a wider spectrum of mathematical-biology topics and serve to broaden the scientific perspective of participating students and help them to develop connections in new and exciting areas of research.

Participants who register for the school are automatically included in the workshop (and can present posters or possibly give a talk) and are provided room and board for the entire time. This is a great opportunity to learn some theory and then hear state of the art talks in the areas related to the courses. There is funding available for approximately 25 participants in the school part. Funding will cover registration, room, board and airport pick-up/drop-off. Registration for only the workshop part of the event is also possible for students, new researchers and current active researchers. See Registration for more information.
