MiLS meeting on "Information Theory in Life Sciences", 13-14th September 2023, University of Nottingham

Update 12/7/23: Unfortunately this meeting has been postponed to Spring 2024 due to speaker availability and low registrations.

We are pleased to announce the 17th Mathematics in Life Sciences (MiLS) meeting which will focus on "Information Theory in Life Sciences". It will take place on 13-14th September 2023 at the University of Nottingham, and will be co-organised by Prof. Jonathan Wattis.

The meeting aims to bring together mathematicians and experimentalists to discuss the use of information theory techniques in life sciences, including Shannon information, entropy and ideas from statistical physics, and is expected to encompass a wide range of applications.

Confirmed speakers include:

Prof. Robert Insall (University of Glasgow)

Dr. Thomas Ouldridge (Imperial College London)

Dr. Barbara Bravi (Imperial College London)
