Paulien Hogeweg, director of Theoretical Biology and Bioinformatics Group at Utrecht University, Netherlands, heads international experts to address Biocomplexity 9 workshop 8-10 May 2006
Paulien Hogeweg, a noted theoretical biologist, will discuss how the interface between self-organizing complexities and Darwinian evolution enriches both the evolutionary process and the dynamics of self-organizing processes.
She is scheduled to speak 5:30pm, Tuesday, May 9, at the Monroe County Public Library auditorium, 303 East Kirkwood Ave., Bloomington.
Her lecture is open to the public.
"Biocomplexity 9 aims to bring together a small select group of scientists in the field of modeling multicellular systems," says Santiago Schnell, assistant professor of informatics and associate director of the Biocomplexity Institute at Indiana University Bloomington.
"The speakers will discuss many different modeling approaches, or key experimental systems," Schnell continues.
"This year's workshop sessions are closed door, but the public lecture is open to the public - an event intended to connect people to science." Other invited experts hail from the IU School of Informatics and other US academic institutions, as well as universities in United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Canada.
The closed-door workshop sessions will be held at Fourwinds Resort and Marina, 9301 Fairfax Rd., Bloomington.
The workshop is sponsored by IU, IU School of Informatics, National Science Foundation, IU Office of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculties and The Biocomplexity Institute.
