Summary on Grant Application Form |

This workshop on Mathematical Virology brings together mathematicians working on various aspects of structure and assembly of viral capsids. Mathematical models in this area are of strong current interest because they constitute important milestones for the understanding of viral replication mechanisms and hence ultimately for the design of anti-viral therapeutics.For the success of this branch of Mathematical Biology the dialogue between mathematicians and biologists is indispensable and the workshop will hence provide, besides the mathematical talks, a set of talks by expert biologists in the field. However, the focus of the workshop will clearly be on the mathematical aspects of the topic. In particular, the workshop will consist of a series of plenary talks presented by leading experts in the field, as well as contributed talks and poster presentations. Moreover, scheduled discussion groups open to all participants will streamline the synergies between the different approaches and help to identify new avenues for future research.We expect that with this structure the meeting will provide new insights and inspiration for experts and newcomers in the field alike, and will strongly encourage UK research in this timely and topical area of Mathematical Biology.
