AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
----------------------

The aims of the meeting are to bring together theoreticians
and experimentalists who share interdisciplinary interest in
mathematical modelling in the medical and biological sciences.
Papers are sought to employ mathematical modelling to enhance
the understanding of biomedical problems.

TOPICS
------

Neural Biology
Fractals and Attractors
Ecology
Parasite-Host Systems and Epidemiology
Immunology
Pattern Formation and Rhythms
Genetics and Evolution Dynamics
Biomedical Modelling
