VI  SEMBIOMAT

Lima, January 4-8, 2010

Mathematical Biology is a fascinating interdisciplinary field that allows us to join mathematics and the life sciences.
Many scientists have been attracted to this area due to the rapid growth of modern life sciences and advances in biotechnology. The purpose of this seminar is to promote theoretical approaches and mathematical tools in biology and medicine within a South American context and to facilitate the development of new technologies in applications relevant to our necessities. The seminar will provide the opportunity to present recent achievements in the scientific research areas and exchange ideas. Mathematicians, life and/or health scientists, computational biologists, bioengineers and others interested in mathematical and computational analysis applied to life sciences are invited to contribute and participate.
The Peruvian Society of Applied and Computational Mathematics (SPMAC) has the  pleasure to announce the beginning of the activities in the way to the realization of the VI SEMBIOMAT. This event  has demonstrated a high quality of  organization during the first five editions. The results were  a combination of excellent  invited international and peruvian speakers and the great participation of the academic, professional and student participation and attendance to these events.

Objectives  (Objetivos)

 Los objetivos perseguidos con la realización del VI SEMBIOMAT son:

·         Crear conciencia en las instituciones involucradas del uso de las herramientas matematicas para perfeccionar sus investigaciones.

·         Formar una masa gris de intelectuales especialistas en las técnicas de los modelos biomatematicos aplicados a las correspondientes áreas del conocimiento.

·         Instruir a los especialistas en las técnicas y software computacionales, a fin de que se constituyan en difusores entre sus colegas de los modelos biomatematicos.

                    ·         Considerar los Proyectos de Iniciación Científica en el Área de Biomatemática.

Topics (Temas)
