MathBio 2: IMAGE
Interdisciplinary BioImage Informatics
November 19-20, 2009, the Fluno Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery and the UW Graduate School are sponsoring the Second Annual MathBio Symposium for University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty and staff to explore the interfaces that connect the mathematical, computational and biological sciences.
The 2009 MathBio symposium, titled MathBio 2: IMAGE, will focus on the mathematical, computational and perceptual challenges and opportunities in the exploding field of biological imaging. Presenters will highlight the growing need for interdisciplinary collaborative efforts to more effectively understand, analyze, visualize and disseminate biological image data sets. The multidisciplinary nature of image analysis, particularly the science of perception and visualization, will be discussed in partnership with faculty from diverse areas across campus.
