Jamie Luo about Math Bio:
Here are some recommendations for key-note speakers with links to their homepages.
They should all be appropriate for a mathematical biology track (or certain others).

Raymond E Goldstein (Cambridge)
Schlumberger Professor of Complex Physical Systems,FInstP, FIMA, Fellow of Churchill College, http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gold/

Prof Alan McKane (Manchester)
Would also be appropriate for other streams (complexity), http://www.theory.physics.manchester.ac.uk/~ajm/

These next 2 I haven't seen present personally but were recommended to me by my supervisor:
Paul Bressloff (Oxford) - Neuorscience, http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~bressloff/
Peter Olmsted (Leeds) - Theoretical Soft Condensed Matter Physics, http://www.irc.leeds.ac.uk/~phy6pdo/

I would go for Goldstein and Alan McKane primarily.
