Modelling and Microbiology: using computational methods to understand how biological cells survive, proliferate and evolve

This theme will identify the key future research directions and challenges at the interface between computational modelling and microbiology. Development of ideas will take place via a series of three workshops focused on specific research areas. The results will be published in a roadmap document, which will be disseminated at a final workshop and ultimately as a journal article. This will act both as a rallying point and as a guide for future research. This theme builds on the work of the StoMP network, which has established contacts between microbiologists, physical and computer scientists and mathematicians over the period 2007-2010.
