It is clear that mathematics has always benefited from its involvement with developing sciences. One fast-growing area that is well-defined, albeit not clearly defined, is that of Mathematical Biology. The aim of this symposium is to present diverse research topics in developmental biology and bio-medicine, from HIV/AIDS models to models of tumor growth and angiogenesis, illustrating the pivotal role played by mathematics in elucidating knowledge in biological systems. Our symposium will highlight the interactions between biology, mathematical modeling, and numerical compuations illustrating how these seemingly diverse areas are in fact always in constant  interaction with one another (Abstract Submission website).
