the CIME-EMS Summer School on

« The Mathematics of Mechanobiology »

will be held in Cetraro (Italy) on August 27-31, 2018. The invited lecturers are Antonio de Simone,
Benoit Perthame, Alfio Quarteroni and Lev Truskinovsky

The Summer School will provide an introduction to the mathematical aspects of
the interactions between mechanics and biology, with an overview on the
leading results and questions in the field. It is primarily thought for PhD
students, postdoc and early carrier researchers interested in the mathematical
challenges that stem in the application of classical mathematical methods to
new biological experiments and by the opportunity to translate mathematics to
support clinical practice
