Proc. of the Third Brazilian Symp. on Mathematical and Computational Biology - v2
The 3rd Brazilian Symposium
on Mathematical and Computational Biology - III SBBMC or BIOMAT III was another
opportunity of fomenting the scientific discussion among many sorts of professionals
with a special interest in biological research themes. We think that these symposia
are now rooted in the brazilian schedule of scientific meetings and we are pleased
to have contributed to this situation. We hope to have enough financial support
from universities, companies and research funding agencies in the near future,
since we believe in the fundamental importance of these meetings for improving
multidisciplinary research in brazilian science. We also believe that this kind
of research is the right track towards the technological independence of undeveloped
countries. These symposia started in the first year of the new century to be
along with ideas of a new boom in scientific research: the physico-mathematical
description of phenomena related to the living state. In terms of promoting
scientific development, they are unique in the sense of the vocation of young
scientists for a still hidden plethora of interconnected facts of biological
origin. This kind of realization should be also unique for the most experienced,
since it is a chance to test their knowledge in essential interdisciplinary
work. The future will tell us of the real importance of these studies and their
contribution to the theoretical understanding of one of the most remote scientific
frontiers.
