September 12 to 14, 2022, at Weierstrass Institute Berlin

Scope

The workshop MathBio22 - Mathematical models for biological multiscale systems discusses and identifies mathematical methods that bridge the gap in scale and complexity between microscopic descriptions of biological and biophysical systems with corresponding PDE descriptions. The focus is on the multi-scale nature innate to biological processes connecting interacting biomolecules with complex systems such as cells, tissue, and organs to elucidate macroscopic phenomena, e.g.,

• (cross)diffusion,
• liquid-liquid phase separation,
• gelation,
• growth.

The corresponding model hierarchies require innovative and structure-preserving numerical methods, novel simulation techniques, and new analytical tools for the resulting nonlinear PDE systems. The latter concerns in particular questions of well-posedness, long-term behavior, qualitative properties of solutions, and coupling to microscopic, stochastic, or agent-based models. Variational and energy- or entropy-based methods are of particular interest.

Corona

Wearing an FFP2 mask during the event is mandatory, except for the speaker and during the catering.

We will provide you with FFP2 masks and corona self-tests every morning. We take it for granted that all participants behave responsible in this matter. If you prefer to do it in a medical center, these are the closest centers to the institute and the hotel. Please contact us if you need any assistance:

• Jägerstraße 56, 10117 about 5 minutes walk, open from 7:00 until 20:00, no appointment needed
• Kommandantenstraße 75, 10117 about 11 minutes walk, open from 10:00 until 16:00, no appointment needed
• Friedrichstraße 50, 10117 about 14 minutes walk, open from 7:00 until 20:00, no appointment needed

The corona measures taken by us are in accordance with the currently valid regulations of the Senate of Berlin. We assume no liability for a possible corona infection that coincides with the visit of our event.
