VPH Events

Introduction

The proposed workshop will examine fundamental mathematical techniques which under-pin multiscale modelling of the VPH, highlighting novel modelling approaches, recent successes and current challenges. Themes to be included in the event include approaches to homogenisation of models across multiple spatial scales, which allow cell-level models to be systematically scaled up to the tissue/organ level, and related asymptotic techniques for the analysis of multiple timescale problems, such as those arising in studies of drug delivery,wound healing and gene regulatory networks: the workshop will seek to span scales from gene, signalling and metabolic networks up to tissue and organ levels. The workshop will target researchers of both mathematical and nonmathematical backgrounds, including leading mathematicians with no previous exposure to VPH-related questions as well as VPH experts, thereby promoting future collaborations between these communities.

Aims and Scope

 Workshop themes will include, but will not be strictly limited to:

 - fundamental mathematical techniques in multiscale modelling for the Virtual Physiological Human;

- homogenisation across multiple spatial scales;

- asymptotic analysis and its application to multiple timescale problems;

- hybrid (stochastic/determinstic, discrete/continuous) models across multiple spatio-temporal scales.

Guidelines for abstract submission

 The call for abstracts for this session is exactly the same as the VPH2012 conference and all abstracts will follow the same process. Contributions to the workshop will have to specify in the EasyChair submission process that they wish to be considered to be included within this workshop and should also email the workshop organiser This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Otherwise conference organisation will consider them for the main conference. Please bear in mind that all papers submitted to the workshops *must* pay a registration fee to the conference (if accepted).
