BIRS Workshop — The Mathematics of Microbial Evolution: Beyond the Limits of Classical Theory

The goal of this workshop is to bring microbiologists, evolutionary biologists and applied mathematicians together to discuss recent experimental discoveries in microbial genetics and evolution. Our aim is to develop new mathematical approaches and predictive models that account for the complexity and diversity of microbial evolution. Overall, a deeper understanding of the ever-changing microbial populations within and around us will be critical in responding to novel pathogens and changing environments.
