Biomathematics Related Projects ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

|
The following interdisciplinary and inter institutional projects are closely related to the biomathematics initiative at Sweet Briar College: • The project leaders received an NIH
award Computational Applications in Diabetes and Endocrinology
(Award #R25 DK064122-01 with Principal Investigator Dr. Marty Straume).
This five-year initiative (2003 - 2008) integrates quantitative and
computational strategies with diabetes and endocrine research in the
undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate curricula at UVA. • PREP
Workshops - For the past three years Drs. Robeva and Davies were
among the organizers of a professional
development workshop "Computational and
Mathematical Biology" sponsored by the Mathematical
Association of America for faculty who are interested in creating and
teaching courses in Computational Biology. The 2008
workshop is scheduled to take place at Appalachian State University,
Boone, NC, August 3-8. Previous
workshops were hosted by Hope College, MI (2003), North Caroline
Agricultural and Technical Unoversity, NC (2004), Harvey Mudd
College, CA (2005), and Sweet Briar College, VA (2006 and 2007).
• Materials developed for the course "Topics in Biomathematics" were used in Summer 2005 as independent introductory reading for undergraduates participating in selected biomedical research through the Summer Research Internship Program of the University of Virginia. |
