We have been invited to the MATRIX workshop on "Virtual Tissues" organized by Helen Byrne (University of Oxford), Edmund Crampin (University of Melbourne), Alexander Fletcher (Sheffield University), Edward Green (Adelaide) and James Osborne (University of Melbourne) in Creswick, Australia.
MATRIX is an international research institute that runs research programs where world leading researchers in the mathematical sciences, as well as experts from business and industry, can come together to collaborate in an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment.
The aim of the workshop was to bring together world leading mathematical modellers and systems biologists with experimentalists to discuss advances in all aspects of cell and tissue modelling. The focus was on developing and using these models for drug discovery, develop new partnerships and strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations.
