Summer School on Quantitative Molecular and Cellular Biology

Summer School on Quantitative Molecular and Cellular Biology

University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, on 16-27 June 2025

We would like to draw your attention to the Summer School on Quantitative Molecular and Cellular Biology that will take place at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, on 16-27 June 2025.

This research school is part of a series of events that has emerged from the collaboration of three bodies: the Mathematical Modeling Mini-Courses (3MC) program, Potchefstroom, South Africa, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Studies (PIMS), Manitoba, Canada, and the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS), Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

The summer school aims to equip students with essential tools and methodologies for investigating complex molecular and cellular questions. Courses will cover techniques relevant to structural, molecular, and cellular biology, all driven by specific biological questions. Cancer will be used as an integrative example throughout the program.

Biological interests: Structures and topology of molecules; Transport in cells; Proteins interactions and signaling pathways; Cell shapes and structures; Introduction of cancer biology.

Methodology: Graph theory and applications in biology; Geometric and statistical methods in biological data analysis; Mathematical and computational modelling of cellular and molecular biology; Stochastic processes and dynamical systems in biological systems.

Limited funding is available for selected participants from African institutions upon successful application. Registrations and applications for funding are open and can be completed online on the event website.

Application deadline: 15 October 2024 

Please disseminate the information and the attached poster to postgraduate students and other potentially interested participants.

CIMPA School: Enumerative Combinatorics with Applications to Computer Science

CIMPA School: Enumerative Combinatorics with Applications to Computer Science
Stellenbosch University, South Africa
6 – 17 January 2025

 
Apply: https://application.cimpa.info/
Deadline: 15 September 2024
 
We invite interested postgraduate students and early career researchers to apply to our summer school. The school aims to familiarise attendees with the field of enumerative and analytic combinatorics, and to show its many connections to other areas, especially computer science. The school will consist of 8 mini-courses, with practical components in python-based SageMath. 
 
Participants from developing countries will be provided with free board and lodging for the duration of the school, and we can provide financial support for travel to a limited number of participants from developing countries. More information about the school can be found at https://math.sun.ac.za/cimpa/. We would like to strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented groups in mathematics to apply.
 
Please contact Sarah Selkirk (sarah.selkirk@warwick.ac.uk) for enquiries.
