BaMBA 2015 Agenda
BaMBA is a one-day meeting aimed at creating a fairly informal atmosphere to explore the role of mathematics in biology. Going beyond traditional applied mathematics, the topics include applications of algebraic, topological, statistical and computational methods. Our goal is to encourage dialogue between researchers and students from different disciplines in an atmosphere that promotes the open exchange of ideas and viewpoints. We expect a day full of enticing discussions!
Invited Speakers:
Steven Brenner, UC Berkeley
Carina Curto, Pennsylvania State University
Folarin Erogbogbo, San Jose State University
Haiyan Huang, UC Berkeley
Nicolette Meshkat, Santa Clara University
Participation in BaMBA is free and open to everyone, but registration is required. Attendance is limited to 100. The registration deadline is Tuesday, October 13th, 2015.
