BIOMATH 2025: A conference overview

Abstract

The BIOMATH 2025 conference is the thirteenth in the series of BIOMATH conferences. The series was initiated in 2011, building similar meetings taking place since 1995. BIOMATH 2025 takes place at the Institute of Mechanics and the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Sofia, Bulgaria, 15-20 June 2025. The conference series is coordinated by an International Steering Committee comprising 18 dedicated scientists from 10 different countries. One of the main driving forces behind BIOMATH series of conferences and one of the founders of the committee was Prof. Svetoslav Markov from the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Science, who sadly passed away in 2023. The conference acknowledged his contribution to both the conference series and the publications associated with it.

BIOMATH conferences are forums for latest research in the life sciences based on applications of mathematics, as well as mathematics applied to or motivated by biological research. It is a multidisciplinary meeting forum for researchers who develop and apply mathematical and computational tools to study phenomena in the broad fields of biology, ecology, medicine, biophysics, biochemistry, pharmacokinetics, chemoinformatics, biotechnology, bio-engineering, environmental science and etc. In addition, BIOMATH 2025 includes a special topic session \textit{Mathematical models of the immune system in human disease}, where advances in genetics and biochemistry have opened up new opportunities to gain knowledge about the organization, dynamics, and regulation of the human immune system.
