NITMB MathBio Ideathon

Monday, August 10, 2026 | All day  
Suite 3500, Chicago, IL 60611

This workshop will be structured to facilitate focused discussion and creative insight regarding research topics at the interface between biology and mathematics, theory and computation.   Participants will:

• Introduce their expertise to one another via lightning talks and individual sharing
• Contribute their visions concerning unsolved problems facing their respective fields
• Organize into teams to address the most promising collaborative approaches 
• Summarize research plans they think are most likely to be successful

Workshop participation will be limited.   Attendance will be balanced equally between experimental and theoretical approaches and will be distributed equally across different career stages.   Early career participants are especially encouraged to apply. 

Teams will have the opportunity to return through NITMB’s Focused Research Award Program to continue their work together.
