UW-Madison Symposium on Integration of Mathematical and Biological Sciences
11/19/2009 12:00:00 PM
Thursday, 11/19
12:00 PM
to 12:00 PM
Location: Fluno Center (601 University Ave)
The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery and the UW Graduate School are sponsoring the Second Annual MathBio Symposium to explore the interfaces that connect the mathematical, computational and biological sciences.
The 2009 MathBio Symposium, titled MathBio 2: IMAGE, will focus on the mathematical, computational and perceptual challenges and opportunities in the exploding field of biological imaging. Presenters will highlight the growing need for interdisciplinary collaborative efforts to more effectively understand, analyze, visualize and disseminate biological image data sets. The multidisciplinary nature of image analysis, particularly the science of perception and visualization, will be discussed in partnership with faculty from diverse areas across campus.
Research is one initiative within the UW-Madison Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan, which focuses on how technology-based services can support our campus mission and college and department priorities. Since early 2007, the Office of the CIO has partnered with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, the Libraries, the Graduate School, the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI), the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) and others to provide educational events that facilitate interactions among research and scientific staff and provide outreach services. Through this campus-wide effort, the CIO office has helped to facilitate jointly sponsored events, such as the MathBio Symposium, and to offer outreach services to researchers.
