Abstract | Undergraduate research at the intersection of mathematics and biology is a vibrant area that incorporates multiple components of both disciplines in an interactive learning environment. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and/or industrial partners to facilitate the research. In this minisymposium, talks are presented by student teams to discuss how they have addressed their biomathematical questions and to provide insight into their solution strategies. |
