Second Young Researchers Workshop in Mathematical Biology
(March 27 - 30, 2006)
Organizers: MBI postdoctoral fellows

To provide a forum for young mathematical biologists to interact with their peers, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute hosted the Second Young Researchers Workshop in Mathematical Biology. The workshop brang together approximately 45 young researchers in mathematical biology to broaden their scientific perspective and to develop connections that will be important for their future careers.

We cordially invited postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty to apply for participation in this workshop. A limited number of advanced graduate students were also accepted.

Each participant presented a poster of current research and gave a 5-minute advertisement of the poster. The workshop also featured working group discussions on broad issues relevant to researchers in mathematical biology.

Plenary talks were given by leading researchers in mathematical biology:
