Lake Como School — Mathematical models for bio-medical sciences

In the scientific community a growing interest arises on the mathematical formulation and study of evolution systems stemming from Biology and Health Sciences, focusing in particular on tumor growth models, bio-materials and complex systems. This subject turns out to be particularly significant for Mathematical Biology especially during these years, in which a joint venture of the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB) started. It results that applications of Mathematics in Bio-medical sciences are completely opening new pathways of interactions and they constitute a huge source of new mathematical problems. The school aims to gather well-known experts in modeling of Bio-medical systems and mathematicians directing their research to the analysis of qualitative properties of solutions of the related partial differential equations and their implication on the biological behaviour. The main objective is to attract students interested in mathematical modeling and analysis in applied sciences.
