Scientific Overview
Recent advances in molecular probes, personalized or individualized medicine
has raised many interesting and challenging mathematical problems. The workshop's topics
will include some of the current major technologies and emerging mathematical problems
in biomedical imaging. The emphasis will be on the interface between Mathematics and Biomedical
Imaging, thus, to promote new ideas and research at the frontiers of interdisciplinary studies.
The aims of the workshop are to identify important research direction and opportunities in
mathematics induced by problems coming from imaging applications as well as to promote
collaborations that will lead to mathematically-based better solution of practical problems
in biomedical imaging applications. The format of the workshop will encourage communications
and collaborations between mathematicians and scientists from these fields of applications.
The topics of the workshop will include, but are not limited to, mathematical aspects and
practical problems in mathematics for image processing and reconstruction; mathematical
problems, models and methods in biomedical imaging technologies; molecular imaging
approaches (PET/SPECT/Fluorescence/ Bioluminiscence); mathematical problems, models
and methods in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT); and optimization techniques
in inverse problems.
This workshop will include a poster session; a request for posters will be sent to registered participants in advance of the workshop.

Application/Registration
An application/registration form is available at:
https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/elements/choose.aspx?pc=bmed2010
The application part is for people requesting financial support to attend
the workshop. If you don't intend to do this, you may simply register.
We urge you to apply as early as possible. Applications received by December 14, 2009 will receive fullest consideration.
Letters of reference may be sent to the address or email address below. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as funding decisions are made.
We have funding especially to support the attendance of recent PhD's, graduate
students, and researchers in the early stages of their career; however,
mathematicians and scientists at all levels who are interested in this area
are encouraged to apply for funding. Encouraging the careers of women and
minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's
mission and we welcome their applications.
