Math-in-Medicine Study Group
OCCAM-Fields-MITACS
Biomedical Problems Solving Workshop,
Medical Sciences Buiilding, Room 3171 (MS on map)
University of Toronto
June 22-26, 2009

Organizers:
C. Breward (Oxford), C.S. Bohun (UOIT), H. Huang (York),
N. Nigam (Simon Fraser), D. Schwendeman (RPI), S. Sivaloganathan (Waterloo),
B.S. Tilley (Olin College of Engineering),
J.F. Williams (Simon Fraser)

What the workshop is about:

The objectives of the workshop are four-fold: to introduce mathematicians and modelers to problems arising in medical science; to effectively aid practioners and researcher in medicine exploit current mathematical tools; to train a new generation of mathematicians in problem-solving, and to provide a natural opportunity for long-term research collaborations to develop in an interdisciplinary setting.

The format of the workshop will be along the lines of the well-established Study Groups at Oxford. On the first morning of the workshop, researchers in medicine will present technical problems of interest to them. We envision a total of 5 distinct problems. The academics will then divide into teams of 6-8 people, to work on these problems for the next three and a half days. On the final day of the workshop, progress on these problems will be reported, and a report on these activities will be prepared subsequently.

MITACS

MITACS leads Canada's effort in the generation, application and commercialization of new mathematical tools and methodologies within a world-class research program. The network initiates and fosters linkages with industrial, governmental, and not-for-profit organizations that require mathematical technologies to deal with problems of strategic importance to Canada.

MITACS helps link academia, industry and the public sector, with a view to developing cutting edge mathematical tools vital to a knowledge-based economy. It sponsors research partnerships, industrial interchanges, workshops, and training programs.
