This workshop focuses on mathematical medicine and mathematical pharmacology and will bring together established researchers, early career researchers, PhD students from various disciplines:
- with the aim of facilitating the dissemination of recent research, substantive discussion and the initiation of new research collaborations and
- enriching the training of mathematics PhD students, via exposure to cutting-edge research developments, showcasing genuine interplay between mathematics and its applications in biology and medicine, and providing networking opportunities.
The topics covered will span a broad spectrum of problems of current interest in oncology and pharmacology and will hopefully stimulate further interactions and research in novel directions. There will be talks on cancer and treatment modelling, biomedical modelling techniques and mathematical pharmacology. This workshop will be of interest to mathematicians, biologists, experimentalist and clinical researchers. We hope that through this workshop we can generate a wider interest in this area by showcasing the usefulness and predictive nature of mathematical and computational models in Biosciences and Medicine and thus initiating new local, regional and national collaborations in this exciting area of science.
