2010 Workshop for Young Researchers in Mathematical Biology (WYRMB)
August 30 - September 1, 2010
Organizers: MBI Postdocs
The workshop is intended to broaden the scientific perspective of young researchers in mathematical biology and to encourage interactions with other scientists.
Workshop activities include plenary talks and poster sessions, as well as group discussions on issues relevant to mathematical biologists. Several abstracts will be chosen for short talks as well as to be presented as a poster.
We cordially invite young mathematical biologists to participate.

- Peter Bates (Mathematics, Michigan State University)
- James Keener (Mathematics, University of Utah)
- Reinhard Laubenbacher (Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, Virginia Tech)
- John Lowengrub (Mathematics, University of California, Irvine)
