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

Chair:Akiko Nakamasu(Meiji University, Japan)

As members of Earth's biodiversity, our researchers are fascinated by its beauties and pursue it, theoretically and/or empirically. We may find each treasure during the explorations. To avoid a blind way of resource wasting in the process, principles of conduct will be often required. As ones of such guidances, theories that had regarded as purely mathematics began to be accepted in various experimental systems. And custom mathematical models have been designed to encourage specific experiments. While theories which meet experimental data have valuable opportunities to deepen the knowledge. Reflecting this, the importance and responsibility of mathematical models is now increasing by their interaction with experiments. This session will specifically focus on simple mathematical models, which have the power to understand the phenomenon of interest and the advantage of extracting its mathematical structure. I will introduce the following theoretical attempts closely associated with experiments on pattern formation and morphogenesis. And we will discuss the way to reach the highest potential of the mathematical models in the future.
