Advances in molecular and high-throughput biology are producing an explosion of infor-mation and transforming our understanding of biology, medicine, and bioengineering.

Such progress is producing a growing need
to quantitatively understand and manipulate this data and translate it into practical applications. Researchers in computational
and theoretical biology are using a variety
of mathematical approaches to understand
and manipulate nature.

This symposium will present recent results and theoretical methods of statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and systems biology that are being developed and applied to study the collective properties of biological systems.
