This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in July, 2013 at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Organized by Dr. James A. Glazier of the Physics Department at Indiana University in Bloomington, the institute will focus on many of the key mathematical approaches currently used in modeling biological phenomena in contemporary biology. The development and function of tissues and organs rely on a complex web of interactions that occur on a multitude of scales ranging from individual proteins to tissue networks. The PASI will gather leading researchers from a variety of modeling disciplines to teach their methodologies through lectures and computer laboratories, and to promote interdisciplinary collaborations among participants in order to address key biological problems. PASI participants will include experimental biologists, computational biologists, and mathematical biologists at the advanced undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels. This PASI will introduce students to many important techniques in the above subjects. In addition to the exposure and mentoring of young scientists to state-of-the-art methods, the activity will foster international collaboration among researchers from the US and different countries in the Americas. The results from the PASI, including presentations and videos, will be disseminated through a website and other media to serve as a resource for students and researchers interested in biological modeling.

由NSF和能源部（DOE）共同支持的这项泛美高级研究机构（PASI）奖将于2013年7月在巴西Rio Grande do Sul的Alegre Porto Alegre举行的联邦联邦政府Rio Grande Do Sul（UFRGS）。 该研究所由布卢明顿印第安纳大学物理系的詹姆斯·A·格拉齐尔（James A. 组织和器官的发展和功能依赖于从单个蛋白质到组织网络等多种尺度上发生的复杂相互作用网。 PASI将从各种建模学科中收集领先的研究人员，通过讲座和计算机实验室来教授他们的方法，并促进参与者之间的跨学科合作，以解决关键的生物学问题。 PASI参与者将包括高级本科，研究生和研究生水平的实验生物学家，计算生物学家和数学生物学家。该PASI将向学生介绍上述主题中的许多重要技术。 除了向年轻科学家接触和指导最先进的方法外，这项活动还将促进美国和美洲不同国家的研究人员之间的国际合作。 PASI的结果（包括演示文稿和视频）将通过网站和其他媒体传播，以作为对生物建模感兴趣的学生和研究人员的资源。
