International Workshop on
Physics of Immunity: Complexity Approach
April 04 - 08, 2011
Scientific Coordinators:
Carmen Molina-París (University of Leeds, UK)
Mikhail Ivanchenko (University of Nizhniy Novgorod, RUSSIA)
Michal Or-Guil (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, GERMANY)
Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
Immunological decisions are reached by processes that include not only
molecular interactions within cells but also large populations of migrating,
proliferating, differentiating, and interacting immunocompetent cells, thus
comprising a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. In order to infer such
complex processes from experimental observations, mathematical and statistical
models have increasingly been used. However, synthesising models and
immunological data poses ever new challenges.
The workshop aims at promoting interdisciplinary exchanges and debates in order to achieve a better understanding of complex immunological processes and to identify the most promising directions for future basic and applied research.
