Mathematics 596a
Quantitative Biology Seminar
Fall 2014
Tuesdays 4PM
Mathematics
Room 402
Overview.
The
Quantitative Biology Seminar is a central activity of the National Institutes
of Health training grant - "Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Biomedical
Systems." This grant will provide fellowships for students
working at the interface of mathematics and the biological and biomedical
sciences and will create a campus-wide community of faculty and students
working on problems in quantitative biology. As a consequence, the seminar is
open to all graduate students as a course. In addition, the seminars are open
to the University of Arizona community.
Day-to-Day Operations.
The Quantitative Biology Colloquium
will consist of two 5 week-long minicourses. The first
will be gene duplication. The second
concerns cell
cycle with a special emphasis on cancer

The minicourse ÒteamsÓ and the presenter will coordinate the minicourse in choosing preparatory reading, the
presentation of lectures and possible the follow-up activities.
The
course convenes each Tuesday at 4:00 PM in room 402 of the Mathematics
Building. If you need to contact me, write me electronically at jwatkins at
