 Workshop on Modeling in Molecular Biology
Jointly organized by Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS) and Laboratories for Information Technology (LIT)
Date: |
19 - 21 June, 2002 |
|
|
Venue: |
Seminar Room |
Schedule: |
The workshop on Modeling in Molecular Biology is part of
the Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery Program at the Institute
for Mathematical Sciences.
Please visit Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery program website for info on the main activities of this program.
General aim of the program on Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery
The interplay between DNA and proteins is the most fundamental of biological interactions and has pervasive implications in biology, medicine, and pharmacology. Genetic variability is the source of phenotypic variation, pathogen susceptibility, environmental factor susceptibility, and individual differences in drug response. The program on Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery will focus on the computational and statistical analysis of sequence and genetic data and the mathematical modeling of complex biological interactions, which are critical to the accurate annotation of genomic sequences, the study of the interplay between genes and proteins, and the study of the genetic variability of species. It is intended to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians for interaction and exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Specific aims of the workshop on Modeling in Molecular Biology
This is a workshop on mathematical biosciences. Its specific goal is to provide new mathematical models that improve biological understanding of molecular interactions, particularly protein-protein interactions and pathways. The talks will present mathematical and computational models, probabilistic and computational methods for the solution of fundamental problems in the biosciences. Our intention is to involve mathematical scientists and bioscientists in the solutions of these problems. It is planned as a friendly workshop with a good balance of presentations and discussions.
