MiR@W Day: Circadian and Sleep-Wake Cycle: Models and Data

23-24 April 2018

The motivation for this workshop is to bring together researchers with a view to creating new links between analysing available data sets (for instance from wearable devices, mobile phones etc) and mathematical modelling to address scientific questions of interest to research in rest-activity rhythm, sleep, chronobiology which all have important implications for health.

The meeting is an initiative of the Warwick chronotherapy group and is supported by the Medical Research Council (Grant reference: MR/M013170/1)

Organisers: Bärbel Finkenstädt (Statistics), Qi Huang (Statistics), David Rand (Mathematics, Systems Biology), Francis Lévi (Medical School), Robert Dallmann (Medical School), Annabelle Ballesta (Mathematics, Systems Biology).
