This workshop aims to promote state-of-the art mathematical biology researches in the Philippines. It is expected to stimulate young mathematicians of possible inter-disciplinary research directions in mathematics and biology. This activity is envisioned to provide an opportunity for local researchers to establish research collaborations within the country, and between the Philippines and developed countries. It brings together local enthusiasts in the field serving as a focal group to build a mathematical biology community eventually leading to the establishment of a professional organization
