Society, please visit our website: www.smb.org.
Our goal this year is to grow membership significantly worldwide and
support smaller meetings around the world to promote Mathematical Biology
(2018 has been declared the Year of Mathematical Biology). In addition,
diversity comes in many forms, and one aspect of SMB that has always been
exciting to me is the level of involvement from women, junior faculty,
trainees, and minorities. We want to continue this strong tradition in a
number of ways, including awards, travel funds, awards and mentoring to
help foster success at all levels. There are a number of new SMB awards
that have been established for travel and posters, and I would like to see
these fully endowed! So please consider SMB for your tax-deductible

Subject: IMO Workshop 7: Stroma, Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2017
We are currently organizing the 7th Integrated Mathematical Oncology (IMO)
workshop that will run from Oct 29th-Nov 3rd at Moffitt. The IMO workshop
is designed to motivate and facilitate a hands-on modeling experience
focused on the role of stroma in cancer progression and treatment.
Comprising of both an educational event and competition, the workshop
divides participants into four teams integrating clinical, experimental
and theoretical members that will focus their energies on developing and
implementing a mathematical model of stromal interactions in cancer. Each
team consists of around 10-12 participants from mixed disciplines and
career stages, chosen to provide complimentary skills to help the 3 team
co-leaders achieve success. The teams are expected to come up with a
question, build a model, solve it and give a presentation all within 4.5
intense days. The morning of the 3rd is dedicated to presentations and
judging.
As with last years workshop there will be a "speed dating for scientists"
to break the ice among diverse group of participants on the 29th. The
opening presentation on the 30th will summarise what is expected of the
teams and serve to motivate the subsequent hands on model development
sessions. We also plan to have an seperate poster session on the evening
of the 30th to allow participants to showcase their own research. To
facilitate integration and motivate participation we are offering an Amazon
gift voucher to active participants of the winning team and to the runner
up team. I am also pleased to say that the leaders of the winning team
will be awarded a $50K pilot grant, that will be administered primarily by
the IMO but most likely will facilitate experimental and clinical validation.
We are also pleased to announce that we are offering deluxe travel awards,
these are extremely limited and competitive - not a first come first
served basis. Each award will cover flight + accommodation + meals for up
to 6 nights and allow for both national and international scientists to
participate in this unique hands on educational event. TRAVEL AWARD
APPLICATIONS WILL BE CLOSING ON FRIDAY 18th OF SEPTEMBER. If you are a
Postdoc, PhD student or junior faculty interested in participating in the
workshop as a team player, please register asap at http://imo7.eventbrite.com
and follow instructions. Time is very tight, so please don't wait to
register for this exciting opportunity.
