A Special Issue of the Journal of Biological Dynamics

The Journal of Biological Dynamics will publish a special ICMA-VII issue. Participants are welcome to submit manuscripts for consideration through the journal's website, following the same procedure as for submitting a regular paper to this journal. All submissions will undergo the standard peer reviewing process. 

The deadline of submission to this special issue is March 31, 2020. 

The National Science Foundation has provided funds for the financial support of a limited number of US graduate students and early career researchers (junior faculty and postdoctoral fellows) who have no travel support to attend ICMA-VII. To be eligible, the applicant must be a member of the U.S. scientific community (i.e., someone based at a U.S. institution). Those based outside the U.S. are not eligible.

Scientific Advisory Committee

Abba Gumel and Yang Kuang, School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University, AZ (co-chairs)

Linda Allen, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX

James M. Cushing, Department of Mathematics, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ

The broad, general theme of the conference is the formulation, validation, analysis and simulation of mathematical models for the temporal dynamics of biological populations. A special emphasis at this seventh conference will be placed on mathematics of molecular biology and immunology. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

ICMA VII : About the Conference

Continuing series of International Conferences on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Populations in Biological Systems (ICMA), the 7th (ICMA-VII) will be held at Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona, United States, hosted by the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences.

The previous six conferences in this series were held, respectively, at:
