            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.
