This special focus is jointly sponsored by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), the Biological, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences Interfaces Institute for Quantitative Biology (BioMaPS), and the Rutgers Center for Molecular Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry (MB Center).
The first day will consist of introductory talks. In particular, the lectures of Cooper and Lorsch are aimed at the mathematicians and the talks of Chow and Mallet-Paret are aimed at the biologists. These presentations will point towards common ground necessary to understand the challenges shared by the biologists and mathematicians.
The second day will consist of short informal presentations by some of the invited participants.
