ICMS

Feb 14, 2008 - Feb 15, 2008

ICMS, 14 India Street, Edinburgh

Scientific Organiser
Professor Jonathan Sherratt, Heriot-Watt University

Photographs from the colloquium are now available on Professor C Eilbeck's hompage.

This workshop will showcase the work of James D Murray, who has played a fundamental role in establishing mathematical biology as a large and thriving research area.

The workshop will be based around seven lectures by former students and collaborators, and a final lecture by Murray himself. The biological applications covered will include ecology, developmental biology, systems biology and cancer, reflecting the broad span of Murray's research, and the workshop will highlight the way in which mathematics enables lessons from one area of biology to be applied to another, apparently unrelated area.

Numbers will be limited to a maximum of 35. There will be no registration fee, and some financial support is available for PhD students. Those interested in attending should contact Jonathan Sherratt jas@ma.hw.ac.uk.

The workshop is scheduled to immediately precede the 125th anniversary meeting of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society .

This workshop is funded by the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Science.
