OCCAM conference on Modelling at different scales in biology
2010 OCCAM conference on
Modelling at different scales in biology
St Anne's College, Oxford.
Monday June 21st - Wednesday June 23rd 2010
Programme Registration Posters
Biological function arises as the result of processes interacting across a range of spatiotemporal scales. It is now being increasingly recognised that mathematical and computational tools are necessary if we are going to be able to fully understand these complex interactions. This requires modelling at each spatial level, model reduction, and model integration across scales. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers in these areas with applications in a range of biological systems.
