Summary:

The present volume contains selected contributed papers from the BIOMAT 2008 Symposium and lectures delivered by keynote speakers during the plenary sessions. All chapters are centered on fundamental interdisciplinary areas of mathematical modeling of biosystems, like mathematical biology, biological physics, evolution biology and bioinformatics. It contains new results on the mathematical analysis of reaction-diffusion equations, demographic Allee effects and the dynamics of infection. Recent approaches to the modeling of biosystem structure, comprehensive reviews on icosahedral viral capsids
