About Mathematics in Medicine Study Groups
Mathematics in Medicine Study Groups (MMSGs) are workshops for interaction between mathematicians and academic and industrial experimentalists working within the life sciences.
Researchers from experimental and industrial laboratories are invited to present technical problems for study in working sessions with leading mathematicians from the academic community. Problems may come from a variety of subject areas, but should be amenable to mathematical modelling and analysis. In a week of brainstorming and mathematical modelling there is usually enough time to generate and assess many ideas for solving the problem, and usually some of the ideas are checked in more detail.
A full report of the Study Group's work on the problem is produced after the meeting. Follow up meetings may take place later to determine how to take the research further. The MMSGs have served to establish strong links between experimentalists and mathematicians.
