Mini-Workshop: Mathematical Methods and Models of Continuum Biomechanics

Abstract

The workshop Mathematical Methods and Models of Continuum Biomechanics focused on skills and tools providing a rational approach for integrating data that reductionist and molecular approaches in modern biological and medical science has recently provided. The workshop has provided contributions that brought together experts from the (bio-)mechanics and applied mathematics communities in order to highlight the mathematical needs and challenges especially in the fields of soft tissues and DNA mechanics.
