QUANTITATIVE BIOMEDICINE FOR HEALTH AND DISEASE
February 24 - 25, 2016
BCAM-Basque Center for Applied Mathematics
Mazarredo 14, Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
The BCAM Workshop on �Quantitative Biomedicine for Health and Disease� will take place in Bilbao on 24th and 25th February to discuss recent investigations bringing the human health and its pathologies onto the language and methods of quantitative sciences, like mathematics and engineering.
The main goal of this workshop is to create cross talk between these two research fields, to the date isolated islands, and engage in a debate on the potential compatibilities, advantages and disadvantages of one approach over the other in combination with their potential to address important biomedical questions.
This workshop provides an informal forum for discussing the most recent findings, developments and challenges in the field of quantitative biomedicine. Among others, particular topics that will be addressed are heart dynamics modeling and electrophysiology, excitability of individual cells, neuroimaging of brain and its pathologies, image processing in cancer research, etc.
It is an explicit aim of this workshop to provide a platform for researchers who currently are working in biomedicine to come together and discuss on:
a) the scope and nature of information provided by Biomedical data
b) the assumptions and constraints imposed by mathematical and engineering approaches and
c) the capacity and limitations that arise when particular methods (i.e. modeling and simulation, network theory or image processing) are employed to different human pathologies.
The workshop structure, which combines high profile speakers and young talented researchers across worldleading institutions, will ensure a diverse and lively interaction between participants, helping early-career researchers to focus their interests, as discussions will have an emphasis on current approaches and outstanding questions that should be addressed in future research.
This workshop, organized by the first time on 2015, is expected to becoming a regular event in the next years.
