The thematic program "Mathematical Biology" will be held in Lyon from March 4th to June 14th, 2013.


The main topics to be addressed in this program are:

Cell biology, population dynamics, quantitative modeling for drug development, systems biology, and evolutionary biology.

A summer school will be dedicated to recent progresses in multiscale modeling, with applications in the life sciences. Grants will be available for PhD students.
