PhD Summer School
Computational, Statistical and Mathematical Modelling in Biology
http://bioinf.gla.ac.uk
University of Glasgow
2nd - 5th September 2002

The summer school will focus on a variety of modelling techniques developed in the areas of computing science, statistics and mathematics that are proving to be useful in the context of the life sciences. It will stimulate new cross-disciplinary interactions between mathematicians, statisticians, computing scientists, and biologists. Students will find out about open research questions and challenges in the application of mathematical techniques to biology via participation in lectures, tutorials, computer lab sessions, poster presentations and research surgeries led by the presenters.

Some of the topics:
* Mathematical modelling of biological systems
* Hidden Markov models for DNA sequence analysis
* Algorithms for genome and phylogeny analysis
* 3D image reconstruction techniques in biomedical context

Deadlines
14th June: Submission of poster abstracts (200 words in HTML, to be emailed to phdsummer@dcs.gla.ac.uk)
28th June: Notification of acceptance
