2nd Bonn Conference on Mathematical Life Science
From March 16-19, 2026 we will host the 2nd Bonn Conference on Mathematical Life Sciences.
More information can be found on the conference webpage.
MaLiS Club
In 2022, the Mathematical Life Sciences (MaLiS) Club was initiated by the professors Alexander Effland, Jan Hasenauer and Kevin Thurley of the Interdisciplinary Research Unit (IRU) Mathematics & Life Sciences. The objective of the MaLiS Club is to provide a forum for the exchange between mathematics and life sciences. Accordingly, the BCML now supports the MaLiS Club.
The MaLiS Club takes place about six times per year on Friday afternoons in different locations, in general on campus Poppelsdorf or Venusberg . We always have two or three invited talks, and inbetween time for informal discussions with coffee and cake.
If you would like to keep updated via our MaLiS Mailing List, please contact Christina Fricke (bcml@uni-bonn.de).
