Recent Conferences and Workshops

• The Fifth Edition of the Young Applied Mathematicians Conference, Sept 22-26, 2025, Padua, Italy.
  Kaloian and Vladimira presented their research in a minisymposium Kinetic and continuous models in the applied sciences organised by M. Menale and G. Martalò.
• Society for Mathematical Biology Annual Meeting, July 13-18, 2025, Edmonton, Canada.
• The BIOMATH2025 Conference took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 15 to 20 June 2025.
  It includeed a Special Topic session on Mathematical Models of the Immune system in Human Disease. This Special Topic session was a follow-up to the Workshop on Mathematical Perspectives on Immunobiology in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria in 2023.
  The session's purpose was to create a focused opportunity for presentation, discussion and exchange of mathematical and computational models of immunological processes in different human diseases. Topics of interest include: within-host models of host-pathogen interactions, cancer and immunotherapy, immunity and vaccination, autoimmunity and inflammation, signaling pathways, regulatory networks, multiscale immuno-epidemiological models, etc.
