Description:

Although 
new
 experimental 
technology 
is 
partly 
responsible 
for 
the
 current
 revolution 
in 
biological 
research,
 theoretical
 models
 developed
 by 

physicists 
are 
also 
playing
 an 
important
 role 
in 
changing
 the 
way 
biological 
research 
is 
being 
performed. The
 number
 of 
theoretical 
physicists 
migrating 
into 
biology
 has dramatically 
increased
 throughout 
the 
world,
 but 
South 
America 
still lags 
behind.

The three-week school on Physics Application in Biology will feature lectures by physicists who have made important contributions to different areas of biological research. This activity will include minicourses, seminars, discussion sessions and group projects on topics including neuroscience, evolutionary dynamics, biophysics, collective behavior, pattern formation and optimization. The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.

This activity will be preceded by the �€˜V Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology�€™. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools.
