Highlights


Predictive Modeling in Biology and Medicine Conference

The Conference on Predictive Modeling in Biology and Medicine will take place at the Alumni & Visitors Center, University of California, Riverside, from November 17th - 19th, 2023. The Conference is sponsored by the Center for Quantitative Modeling in Biology, Department of Mathematics, College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) and Office of Research and Economic Development (RED), University of California, Riverside. The conference will focus on recent progress in mathematical and computational modeling of biological systems, model translational predictions in biology and medicine and data-driven and machine learning methodologies in biology.

The conference will bring together researchers at different stages of their career to exchange ideas and novel approaches as well as to promote interdisciplinary collaborations with the special focus on promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Special sub-workshop on promoting DEI in Education and Research will be held on the first day, November 17th, 2023.

Registration is Free

Inside UCR Story


Microtutorials

UCR Microtutorial 2

The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice.  The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
