Workshops
September 2003– August 2004
Autumn Quarter 2003
Cell Proliferation
The Fall Quarter will focus on cell growth,
division and death, and cell proliferation with particular attention
to cancer growth and therapy.

Winter Quarter 2004
Mathematical Modeling and Signal Transduction
This quarter focuses on the mathematical
study of how cells respond to their environment and coordinate
their behaviors with that of other cells. The first workshop
uses calcium as a unifying feature, and considers intracellular
transduction mechanisms that rely wholly, or in part, upon the
control of intracellular calcium concentration. The second workshop
focuses on issues of intercellular communication and cell movement.
Each workshop this quarter will begin with a 1-week tutorial.
The first Tutorial on Signal Transduction
(1 week in January) will include topics on the physiology of
calcium dynamics, calcium oscillations and waves, photoreceptor
physiology, odoreceptor physiology, and physiology of neurosecretory
cells.
| Workshop
3 – |
Signal Transduction I: Calcium Dynamics,
Phototransduction, and Olfaction
(January 26-30)
Topics include physiology of synapses, models of muscles,
chemotaxis, and cell motility.
Organizer: James Sneyd, Mike Sanderson

Statistical and Mathematical Modeling
of fMRI Data
(March 18-20)
Organizer: Thomas Santner, Petra Schmalbrock, and Jay
Zweier

Spring Quarter 2004
Immune Models and Host-Pathogen Dynamics
This quarter will focus on host immune
intracellular dynamics, and then tracking the interactions of
the immune cells in their environment as they interact with
pathogens; namely viral, bacterial, and parasitic. In each setting,
we can explore the effects of chemotherapy treatment and the
development of drug resistance. Each workshop will begin with
a 1-week tutorial.
The tutorial on Immunology and Intracellular
Processes (1 week in April) will include the following topics:
biology and mathematical modeling of pathways in the immune
response, intracellular signaling, and cell dynamics.
