Welcome! The first Collaborative Workshop on Rules of Life in the Context of Future Mathematical Sciences will be hosted jointly by George Mason University, Ohio State University and University of Michigan. The conference will be held in Alexandria, Virginia on November 8-10, 2018 and will bring together faculty experts, postdocs, and graduate students from a variety of fields spanning mathematics and biology to refine emerging research challenges in mathematical biology in response to Understanding the Rules of Life, one of the NSF’s 10 Big Ideas.
The workshop will help to promote the exchange of new ideas in mathematical biology to understand the organizational principles and rules of living systems. This exchange will be accomplished through a variety of activities including brainstorming, affinity mapping activities, faculty lightning talks, student poster presentations, and expert panel presentations from agencies and leading mathematical biology institutes.
The conference will produce a white paper, summarizing the consensus opinions of workshop attendees on emerging research areas and needed educational and curriculum reforms. This document will be disseminated to funding agencies, research organizations and professional societies to assist with planning and program development.
