Mathematical Biology: Applications and Analysis



Everything at a Glance

Abstract

Systems of interacting particles play an important role in the mathematical modelling of biomedical phenomena. Typically, these systems are encountered across scales reaching from intracellular processes to the growth of large cell aggregates and tissues, and comprise numbers of agents that are often intractable to simulate numerically. This calls for techniques to coarse-grain and derive effective models that, systematically, establish a bridge between different scales. Concurrently, certain model properties such as phase segregation, pattern formation, or self-organisation are expected to be observedacross scales, posing a particular challenge in the derivation of effective models.

The aims of MB2A are twofold: on the one hand, the workshop aims at providing a platform for leading experts at the interstice of mathematics and biology to present their latest research. On the other hand, there is ample room to engage in new research directions, to test new ideas, and to set up or continue research collaborations.

Additional Information

Getting to Dresden

There are several ways to get to Dresden:

By Train

You can finde possible connections here: Deutsche Bahn (to "Dresden Hbf").

By Coach

You can take a Flixbus to Dresden central station (Dresden Hauptbahnhof).

By Aeroplain

  • Dresden: Dresden has its own airport (code: DRS). From (DRS) you can take the S2 (towards Pirna) to get to the main station. Simply get a single ticket (Ticket zone Dresden) from the DVB which costs about 3€. Tickets can be purchased at the yellow ticket machines or online on Deutsche Bahn (from "Dresden Flughafen" to "Dresden Hbf").

  • Berlin: It may be more economical to fly to Berlin (BER) instead of Dresden. From BER Berlin Brandenburg Airpor you can take the S45 towards "Berlin Südkreuz" and change there into an ICE (fast train) which takes you to Dresden Hbf. There are also some direct ICE connections directly from the airport. Deutsche Bahn (from "Berlin Flughafen" to "Dresden Hbf"). The journey takes about 3h-4h. You may also want to check out if there is a Flixbus heading to Dresden. These take about 2h40m, see Flixbus.

  • Prague: It may be more economical to fly to Prague (PRG) instead of Dresden. You can take a bus (the 119) calling directly in front of the exit from the airport towards the station "Nádraží Veleslavín." There you can switch to the Metrolines which take you to the main station after one additional change or a small walk. From the main station in Prague there are regular trains and Flix buses which bring you to Dresden Hbf. Getting from the airport in Prague to Dresden Hbf usually takes 3h5min to 4h30m.
