Dynamical Systems in the Life Sciences
July 13-15, 2023
The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
Dynamical Systems in the Life Sciences is a 3-day satellite workshop of the SMB Annual Meeting, focusing on mathematics of dynamical systems applied to various problems in modern life sciences. It takes place July 13-15, 2023 at the Ohio State University.
About the Workshop:
The workshop topic, its prominent participants and its timing (immediately prior to the SMB annual meeting in Columbus) provide an excellent opportunity for an important gathering of all levels of researchers in the area of mathematical biosciences, from established to aspiring investigators and students. This workshop aims to bring together mathematical biologists, including researchers from underrepresented groups, early career researchers, and researchers from R2 universities, to search for new and exciting connections for the future. Specific topics of discussion will include:
Biomechanical models
Cancer modeling
Coupled cell systems
Decision making
Free boundary problems with applications in cardiovascular and autoimmune disease
Homeostasis - theories and applications
Mathematical neuroscience
Network dynamics
Pattern formation
Stochastic models in biochemistry
Theoretical results inspired by models of infectious disease spread
In addition to invited talks, we will have two poster sessions for attendees not giving invited talks. The event will also encourage early-career attendees to become more engaged in the problems of theory of applied dynamical systems and its applications in modern life sciences. This will further promote the advancement of mathematical biology both from theoretical and applied perspective.

A key part of this workshop is to foster mentoring relationships across career stages and to expose early-career researchers and under-represented groups to new research opportunities. All junior researchers attending the workshop will have the opportunity to present their research in a poster session.
Inclusiveness:
The organizers of this conference are committed fostering a welcome and inclusive environment. We will not tolerate discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, disability, genetic information or parental status. We invite participants to ask for necessary accommodations to ensure they can participate fully in the conference (for example, microphones for speakers, a lactation room, or a list of local child care providers).
