Speakers
Description
Biology has been often touted as the new physics for mathematics with the promise of new theorems that are inspired by biological investigations. The proposed mini-symposium will discuss new theoretical results and open problems in probability theory and stochastic processes, which are inspired by models in biology. In particular, the session will provide an overview of stochastic models arising from polymers, fragmentation processes, epidemics on networks, mean-field limits connecting macroscopic behaviour to microscopic interactions, neuroscience, systems biology and reaction networks. The two-part mini-symposium will showcase a variety of probabilistic and analytic tools that provide rigorous insights into the mechanisms driving complex
biological systems.
The invited speakers all of whom have confirmed to participate and speak in the mini-symposium should the proposal be accepted are carefully chosen to ensure diversity of not only areas of biological systems but also career stages and backgrounds.
