Simons Semester at Banach Center

1.12.2017-31.03.2018, Warsaw, Poland

The Banach Center of the Institute of Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sci- ences (IMPAN) hosted (from 01.12.2017 to 31.03.2018) Semester on Math- ematical Biology, organized by Odo Diekmann (Utrecht University), Piotr Gwiazda (IMPAN), Jacek Miękisz (IMPAN and MIM UW), Benoît Perthame (Sorbonne Université, Paris), Joanna Rencławowicz (IMPAN), Ryszard Rud- nicki (IMPAN)

It was one of many semesters which are organized at the Banach Center

within the framework of a 5-year research and training program in IMPAN,

financed by the grant received from the Simons Foundation. The general

goal of the Simons Semester on Mathematical Biology was to attract young

people to a broadly defined mathematical biology and to foster international

interdisciplinary collaborations between mathematicians, physicists, and biol-

ogists. We brought to Warsaw, as Simons professors, top mathematicians and

theoretical physicists working in qualitative biology who presented state-of-

art in their fields, and PhD students to work in the frontier of science un-

der the supervision of Simons mentors. Main topics of the semester included

structured population models, information transmission in biological systems,

infectious diseases, and chemotaxis. The BioPhysMath kickoff meeting of the

semester was held in Warsaw in December 2017 and it was sort of a prelude

to 2018 Year in Mathematical Biology. One day of the meeting was devoted

to lectures given by the members of the Board of the European Society for

Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (the board of ESMTB had its meet-

ing in Warsaw on December 8). In remaining two days of the workshop we

had review talks given by some Simons Semester professors and other lec- turers presenting main themes of the semester. The title of this workshop, BioPhysMath, indicates the interdisciplinary character of the workshop and the semester (it was a special edition of two-day BioPhysMath workshops organized twice a year at the Banach Center in Warsaw by Jacek Miękisz and Ryszard Rudnicki. It was followed by a two-month intensive course Stochas- tic processes and inference in biology given by physicists Thierry Mora and Aleksandra Walczak from École Normale Supérieure, Paris. Several students listen to lectures, worked in groups on projects, presented their results, and then submitted a report. Then there followed technical workshops concen- trated on specific models of mathematical biology: Transport phenomena in mathematical biology, Infectious disease epidemiology: from theoretical mod- els to inference, Mathematical aspects of chemotaxis, cross-diffusion effects and concentration phenomena. The semester ended with two schools orga- nized in Banach Center in Będlewo: Information transmission in biological systems and From individuals based models to structured population level description. Participants of both schools consisted of roughly 15 lecturers and 30 students (bachelor, master, PhD students, and post-docs). Some of them are now working on projects proposed by lecturers. This might be a beginning of future long-term collaborations.

The semester has ended but we hope that it will result in many fruitful collaborations, new insights into old problems, new directions of research, and many new ideas and results in mathematical and quantitative biology.
