Biomath Conference Series

Biomath is a series of international conferences on Mathematical Methods and Models in Biosciences and it is devoted to recent research in life sciences based on applications of mathematics as well as mathematics applied to or motivated by biological studies. It is a multidisciplinary meeting forum for researchers who develop and apply mathematical and computational tools to the study of phenomena in the broad fields of biology, ecology, medicine, biophysics, biochemistry, pharmacokinetics, chemoinformatics, biotechnology, bioengineering, environmental science, etc. Manuscripts based on the conference presentations are welcomed for submission in the journal Biomath.

The conference continues a tradition of scientific meetings on Biomathematics since 1995 (see Biomath forum). It is supported by several research units of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (such as the Institutes of Mathematics and Informatics, Information and Communication Technologies, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, Mechanics, Neurobiology, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, etc.) and several Universities (Sofia University "Kl. Ohridski", Plovdiv University "Paisii Hilendarski", South-West University "N. Rilski"), as well as the Union of the Bulgarian Mathematicians and the Biomath Forum. International partners of the Biomath series of conferences are the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and the DST/NRF SARChI Chair on Mathematical Models and Methods in Bioengineering and Biosciences at the University of Pretoria, and the Institute of Applied Mathematics at the University of Warsaw.

Biomath School for Young Scientists
The school comprises plenary lectures and sessions for contributed talks. The lectures at the school are of more introductory nature giving foundations and insight into the respective topic rather then focusing on new results and are presented by some of the keynote speakers of the conference. A central event for the school is the Hot Topics Workshop. Several scholars act as moderators, presenting "hot areas" and related open problems. All PhD students and young scientists participating in the conference are considered members of the school.
