Havana - Cuba

An ICTP 60th anniversary satellite event

This school is to expose students to quantitative and interdisciplinary approaches in biology, with a combination of theoretical lectures and experiments.

The integration of physical, mathematical, and life sciences has proven to be a very successful avenue for deepening our understanding of biological systems. These interdisciplinary approaches provide great opportunities benefiting all the disciplines involved.
 
The school will have an hands-on format: the students, divided in groups, will be introduced to a particular biological problem, which will be formalized and analyzed by using and formulating mathematical theory. The students will then perfom experiments to quantitatively test the quantitative predictions.
