Sunday, September 19th, 2004
Cascades Meeting Center at The Williamsburg Woodlands
Williamsburg, Virginia

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who work on the applications of meshing to biology. The workshop will address meshing problems and issues in applications at the molecular, cellular and organ level. In particular it will address challenges in the areas of biological modeling, deformable surfaces for soft-tissues simulation, molecular models and surfaces, protein surfaces and models, and structural biology, among others.

Organizers

Guy Blelloch, Carnegie Mellon University
David Cardoze, Carnegie Mellon University
Gary Miller, Carnegie Mellon University
Alper Ungor, Duke University
