In recent years, there have been huge advances in molecular biology, driven in part by genome sequencing and high throughput omics data. This has led to exciting discoveries such as CRISPR gene editing and mRNA vaccines which not only have scientific interest, but have also led to important benefits to both society and industry. Many of these biological discoveries have been underpinned by experimental mathematical approaches, in which a combination of mathematical and statistical theory is developed and computational tools are used to simulate and explore their applications to unlocking the secrets hidden within molecular sequence data.
In this interdisciplinary event, we will bring together researchers in biology, mathematics, and computer science to explore experimental and theoretical approaches to cutting-edge problems in molecular biology.
