Due to the revolutionary new technologies that have arisen in
the field of biological data collection, an enormous amount of information
on a molecular and cellular scale has become available and much has been
learned about the molecular components involved in signal transduction
during normal and pathological development. Such progress is producing a
growing need to quantitatively understand and manipulate this data and
translate it into practical applications. Researchers in computational and
theoretical biology are using a variety of mathematical approaches to
understand and manipulate biological processes.
This workshop is devoted to mathematical modelling of the transport
processes and regulatory feedbacks in multicellular systems, particularly
their stochastic and spatial aspects. Recent results and theoretical
methods from nonlinear dynamics and stochastic processes will be
discussed in the context of applications to the study of the collective
properties of biological systems.

The main topics to be studied are:
- Stochastic modelling in biology
- Modelling of intra-cellular signalling pathways
- Diffusion and transport processes in cell systems
|
The workshop is organised within the framework of the Polish-German
Graduate College (Research Training Group 710) and Heidelberg Graduate School of
Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences.
