Symmetry and Dynamics in Biology: From experimental analysis to mathematical modeling April 13-17, 2015 – EPM – UNIFESP – São Paulo – Brazil |
|
The
conference will take place at the Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM) –
Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), from April 13 to 17, 2015.
The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers from all
over the world with varying backgrounds, but with a strong common
interest in developing and/or applying quantitative methods in biology.
Special focus will be given to symmetry principles in biological
phenomena and dynamics (deterministic and stochastic) of biological
processes. Furthermore, a special session to honor the memory of two of
our colleagues that have recently passed away:
José
Eduardo Martinho Hornos († December, 2013): A tribute to the father of the
algebraic approach to the evolution genetic code, 20 years after. Professor
Hornos (Zé Edu) passed away in December, 2013, leaving an enduring
heritage both in theoretical physics and in mathematical biology. He
also made contributions to the study of noise in gene expression and
was a driving force for mathematical biology in Brazil. For the
algebraic approach to evolution of the genetic code see here
and here
and for the repercussion of this work see here
and here.
For the work on noise in gene expression see here.
Francisco de
Assis Ribas Bosco
(† December, 2012): Coming
from the school of Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine, Professor Francisco Bosco made
contributions to the study of noise in gene expression, population
genetics, viral evolution and, more generally, the use of dynamical
systems and stochastic processes to model biological phenomena. For the
work on population genetics see here
and for the work on viral evolution see here.
For the work on noise in gene expression see here
