城大高等研究院新闻

香港城市大学（城大）高等研究院于7月举办了「基因、细胞及数学扩展研讨会」，广邀多位来自不同领域的知名学者到城大，就数学、电脑科学、细胞生物学、人类蛋白质体学和人类遗传学跨学科研究进行为期一个月的深入交流。

是次扩展研讨会由城大高等研究院资深院士及菲尔兹奖及沃尔夫数学奖得主Stephen Smale教授领导，与美国密歇根大学Indika Rajapakse教授合办。今年的扩展研讨会是2016年「基因与染色体研讨会」的延续，目的是继续汇聚国际专家就基因组排列研究交换意见，深入了解基因功能、疾病以及染色体的相互作用及与数学的关系。

于首个讨论环节上，高等研究院资深院士及菲尔兹奖及沃尔夫数学奖得主
Stephen Smale教授发表题为「Beating in Unison」的演讲。

美国密歇根大学Indika Rajapakse教授发表题为「Algorithm for Cellular Reprogramming」的演讲。

一众讲者于讲座后仍继续讨论讲题、互相交流己见。

扩展研讨会有10个讨论环节，共18场讲座，吸引了跨学科人士的兴趣，接近400名学者及学生参与。其中对基因、细胞与数学的最新趋势和发展展出深入探讨，演讲题目包括 (只有英文版本)：
