Mathematics at the Frontier of Developmental Biology Workshop

Developmental biology is undergoing a rapid expansion fueled by increasingly powerful genetic control of cell fate on the one hand, and by audacious endeavors to grow tissues and organs in vitro on the other. Such breakthroughs in the laboratory have opened up unprecedented opportunities for math-biology.  

The workshop has two aims: 

**To delineate outstanding mathematical questions in the field and construct a strategic research agenda; 

**To seek potential partnership among the participants with the goal of establishing collaborative research initiatives.

Workshop Format:

The two and a half day workshop will feature presentations from each of the speakers below. On Thursday July 3rd, there will be a reception and poster presentation at the workshop venue. All participants are expected to present posters (poster titles and details will be communicated closer to the date).
