New Directions Short Course

This is the first IMA New Directions Short Course, an initiative designed for mid-career scientists who wish to broaden their work to include a new interdisciplinary research interest, the particular topic of the course changing from year to year.

In 2003, we feature a two-week intensive course in Cellular Physiology, running 16-27 June, and taught by

• James Keener, Professor of Mathematics and Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering at University of Utah and author of the award-winning text Mathematical Physiology; and by
• Alexander Mogilner, Professor and Chancellor's Fellow at the Department of Mathematics and Center for Genetics and Development at University of California at Davis.

There were 40 applicants. The National Science Foundation provided funds to accept 25, and all of the IMA's offers were accepted. Partipants will be given room and board at Comstock Hall, one of the University of Minnesota's dormitories. Each participant also will be given shared office space and computer facilities at the IMA.
