Mathematical methods have long been proven to significantly contribute to research in life sciences. While statistics and mathematical modeling can clearly be named first among mathematical applications in life sciences, other fields like mathematical imaging and approximation theory also provide a large range of methods which help to improve research within projects in life sciences. Thus, the field of biomathematics has an increasing potential for future research. This is especially true for emerging interdisciplinary areas like system biology, structure biology or biological imaging.

Therefore the Institute of Biomathematics and Biometry organizes a workshop at the HelmholtzZentrum münchen. The aim is to bring together scientists working in mathematics and related fields and facing applications throughout life sciences. The workshop aims to provide a fruitful atmosphere for discussion and exchange of ideas.
