BioDynamics 2013

Dates & Venue: 11–13 September 2013; Engineer's House, Bristol, UK

This will be the first in a series of annual international workshops designed to bring together biologists, mathematicians, clinicians, physicists, and computer scientists who are interested in dynamical systems in the biological and medical sciences.

These workshops will provide a unique and exciting forum for multidisciplinary interactions, which we hope will lead to rewarding collaborations between theoretical, experimental, and clinical scientists.

This promises to provide an exciting opportunity for scientists to present their data in a multidisciplinary forum and hear how collaborations between biological scientists, clinicians and mathematicians can provide major conceptual advances in our understanding of complex systems.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers

• Prof Russell Foster (Oxford University, UK)
• Dr Michael Hastings (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK)
• Prof David Hazlerigg (University of Aberdeen, UK)
• Prof Allan Herbison (University of Otago Centre for Neuroendocrinology, New Zealand)
• Prof Kevin O'Byrne (King's College, London, UK)
• Prof David Rand (University of Warwick, UK)
• Prof James Sneyd (University of Auckland, New Zealand)

In addition, each session will feature a number of selected shorter talks, with plenty of time for informal discussion. Poster sessions will provide an opportunity for people to present and discuss their work. Posters will be on display throughout the workshop, and there will be prizes awarded for the best posters from students and early-career scientists.
