This program will discuss recent progress and facilitate the exchange of new ideas in the development and application of mathematical algorithms and computational methods for studying biomolecular structures, their interactions and networks. It is also intended to promote stronger communication and collaboration among mathematical, computational and biological scientists in order to examine essential and unsolved mathematical problems arising from structural and network biology.

The program will be structured around two workshops and two tutorials designed to bring together researchers from a wide spectrum of mathematical and computational biology. The main themes to be covered include

• Computational algorithms for large-scale analysis, classification and predictions of structures, motifs, modules, and biomolecular interactions;

• Mathematical models and computer simulation of structural and evolution dynamics of macromolecules and their interactions,

• Deterministic, probabilistic, and cellular automata models of biomolecular interaction networks and pathways,

• Algorithms for visualization of complex data and networks, as well as other unsolved problems arising from macromolecular imaging research.

This interdisciplinary program represents a unique opportunity to further integrate and synergize the strengths of mathematics and computer science with biology in the post-genomics era.

• Workshops:

  1. Probabilistic and deterministic models of structure and complexity dynamics of large-scale biomolecular interaction networks: From concept to analysis and validation, 16 – 20 July 2007

  2. Data analysis and modeling of protein-DNA, protein-RNA, protein-protein and RNA-DNA interactions: identification and prediction of molecular structures and their biological functions, 30 July – 3 August 2007
      

• Tutorials:

  1. New approaches to mathematical modeling, simulation and analysis of biomolecular interaction networks, 9 – 13 July 2007

  2. Models and computational algorithms of structural determination of macromolecules, their interactions and bio-imaging, 23 – 27 July 2007
