Micro and Macro Systems in Life Sciences

We invite you to the conference Micro and Macro Systems in Life Sciences, which will take up in the Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center in Bedlewo (Poland) from the 8th to the 13th June 2015.

The main thrust of the conference is to present the methods of mathematical modelling and analysis at microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels of various phenomena in Life Sciences and related natural sciences.

We will be honoured if you could participate in the conference.

With best regards

On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees

Aims and Scopes

In the last years, systems both in micro and macro scale have become an increasingly more important tool in describing or at least capturing the essence of phenomena in Life Sciences and related natural sciences. The conference will address methods of mathematical modelling and analysis at microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels of various phenomena in these fields. Singular perturbation methods, stochastic differential equations, generalized kinetic equations, control theory and reaction-diffusion equations are the mathematical basis of modelling on the various scales. Specific applications to biological processes including disease initiation and progression such as tumour – immune system interaction, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and optimal control of diseases will be presented. The aim of all the presentations and scientific interactions is to make connections and catalyze new collaborations between Polish researchers and researchers from other countries as well as between junior and established experts in the field.
