Mathematical Physiology workshop and symposium IISER pune
Introduction:
Physiology is one of the oldest branches of biology to have attracted systematic theories of structure and function: The comprehensive tradition of Indian medicine, Ayurveda, for instance dates as early as 300 BC. Modern investigation now relies heavily on mathematics to complement our understanding. The twin goals of this meeting are to encourage and enhance pedagogy and research in mathematical aspects of physiology. It comprises of: Workshop, Jan 15-21, designed to increase awareness about mathematical modeling in physiology in the country. An intensive set of tutorials on various topics will introduce students and researchers interested in the subject to classical as well as the state-of-the art in modeling, to enable them to rapidly transition to active research in the field. The workshop will be immediately followed by two days of research talks: Symposium, Jan 22-23, which hopes to bring together theoreticians and experimentalists who work on - or would like to foray into - theoretical and mathematical approaches to physiology.
