Conference Poster Link
 

Location: Talks were held in Alumni & Visitors Center

There were 182 participants in attendance and 85 researchers participated on zoom. 

The conference focused on recent progress in mathematical and computational modeling of biological systems, model translational predictions in biology and medicine and data-driven and machine learning methodologies in biology. The conference brought together researchers at different stages of their career to exchange ideas and novel approaches as well as to promote interdisciplinary collaborations with the special focus on promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Special sub-workshop on the development of DEI in Education and Research was held on the first day, November 17th, 2023.

The  Conference is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF DMS 2331170), by the UCR Interdisciplinary Center for Quantitative Modeling in Biology (ICQMB), UCR Office of Research and Development, UCR Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, UCR College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS), UCR Department of Mathematics, UCR Biophysics Graduate Program as well as by City of Hope.
