The Mathematical-Biological Seminar aims to bring together students and researchers from Biology and
Mathematics by participation in interesting lectures.
The seminar is every Tuesday at 13:00 at Faculty of Science, Charles University, Dpt. Philosophy and History of
Science, room p26 (ground floor, from the entrance to the building to the right), Viničná 7, Prague 2
Updates and abstract of upcoming talks together with ZOOM link provided each week at:

The program of the seminar is published at the beginning of each semester. The individual talks focus on various aspects of biology and employ mathematical methods to understand them. Suggestions for prospective speakers are welcome. Also, if any of the participants would like to present hers/his own work we would be grateful for such an effort. Traditionally seminar focuses on ideas proposed by Alan Turing (emergence of spatial patterns). However, other morphological, ecological, and evolutionary models, and their application in biology, medicine, ecology, and evolutionary biology are considered. The main aim of the seminar is to bring closer students and researchers of biology and mathematics and introduce novel research in the field of mathematical biology to students. No specific knowledge of formal aspects of the methods is required, even though in it may be helpful to understand some more advanced talks. However, even beginners (especially those interested in theoretical biology and mathematical approaches to study organic life) are very welcome. The only condition to successfully finish this course is participation on the seminar. Activity during post-lecture discussions is very welcome.
