Joint Meeting of Asian Conference for Mathematical Biology and Annual Meeting of Japanese Society for Mathematical Biology (ACMB-JSMB2025)

Delay differential equations (DDEs) have become an indispensable tool in mathematical biology and the life sciences. Time delays often arise naturally in processes such as gestation, immune response, epidemiological transmission, and neural dynamics, reflecting the time lag between cause and effect. This minisymposium brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent advancements in the theory and application of DDEs. Topics include stability analysis, bifurcation theory, numerical methods, and their implications for understanding biological rhythms, collective dynamics, and various types of feedback mechanisms. By highlighting both theoretical innovations and real-world applications, the symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and inspire novel insights into complex biological systems. Participants will gain a deeper appreciation of how delays shape the dynamics of living systems and learn about cutting-edge techniques to tackle these challenges.
