The Society for Mathematical Biology (SMB), founded in 1973, is the leading international learned society for mathematical biologists. Recent annual meetings took place in Sydney (2018), Nottingham (2017) and Atlanta (2016); the last meeting in Canada was held in Vancouver in 2009. The SMB is returning to Canada in 2019, with a meeting in Montréal that will bring together hundreds of mathematical biologists from all over the world. The conference theme is "From the genome to the biome" and topics will showcase research and education in these topics. SMB 2019 will be hosted jointly by the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM) of McGill University and the Centre for Disease Modelling (CDM). The meeting will take place on the Universite de Montreal campus, coordinated by the Centre de recherches mathematiques (CRM). The CRM, CDM, and CAMBAM are internationally recognized Centres in Mathematical Biology, Applied Mathematics, and Mathematics. It is natural that these Centres come together to host an SMB Annual Meeting. The field of Mathematical Biology covers a broad range of scales and levels of biological organization, from the within the cell to the biosphere. Minisymposia and contributed sessions at SMB Annual meetings thus cover a wide range of topics. Session titles typically focus on (1) the biological system, (2) mathematical and computational modelling tools, and (3) education in this interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary field. In order to ensure that the SMB supports all areas of Mathematical Biology, SMB recently elected to develop topical subgroups. Subgroups hold scienctific symposia and business meetings at the Annual meeting each year. SMB 2019 will continue to support these subgroups through minisymposia organization, and will involve all subgroup leaders in specific aspects the meeting organization activities. Current supbgroups include: Developmental Biology; Education; Immunobiology and Infection; Mathematical Epidemiology; Mathematics Neuroscience; Population Dynamics, Ecology and Evolution; and Mathematical Oncology.
