Melanie Colón Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Graduate students in math, biology and related fields are encouraged toapply to the 2017 Graduate Summer Program on Connecting Biological Datawith Mathematical Models, to be held June 19-23, 2017, at the NationalInstitute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) at theUniversity of Tennessee–Knoxville.Providing students with broad high-level training in mathematicalbiology, the program includes lectures on techniques and modeling usingspecific data sets, computer activities focusing on learning techniques,and feedback sessions on participants’ research problems. Sometechniques to be covered include maximum likelihood and Bayesianapproaches to inference, parameter estimation, model identifiability,uncertainty and sensitivity analysisResearchers from the mathematical and biological sciences will befeatured speakers, including Ben Bolker (McMaster University); ArielCintron-Arias (East Tennessee State University); Marisa Eisenberg(School of Public Health, University of Michigan); Nina Fefferman(University of Tennessee, Knoxville); Simeone Marino (University ofMichigan Medical School); and Joseph Tien (The Ohio State University).*Co-sponsor**s: *NIMBioS, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI,Ohio State), and the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience andMedicine (CAMBAM)*Application Deadline:* Applications for acceptance to the schoolreceived before February 3, 2017 will receive full consideration./The registration fee of $300, which includes on-campus housing andmeals, is due upon acceptance. Participants are responsible for theirown travel to Knoxville. A very limited amount of travel support isavailable for those demonstrating need./For more information and the online application, go tohttp://www.nimbios.org/education/grad2017/***************************** //////Catherine Crawley, Ph.D. //////Communications Manager//////National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis(NIMBioS) //////University of Tennessee //////1122 Volunteer Blvd, Ste. 106//////Knoxville, TN 37996//////e [log in to unmask] //////t +1 865 974 9350 //////f +1 865 974 9461 //////http://www.nimbios.org //////http://www.facebook.com/nimbios //////http://twitter.com/nimbios //////To receive email notifications of blog updates, click herehttp://www.nimbios.org/wordpress/subscribe2updates/> //////To subscribe to our bi-monthly newsletter, click herehttp://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001RgvbKVLa7a4Psoj8H7c43A%3D%3D>/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
