Declaration of intent
This summer school series aims at training their participants in key strategic problems in mathematics and their applications, with the core idea that theory and applications strengthen each other. The school is focused in training of young researchers whilst opening new fields for senior ones.
The Hypatia Graduate Summer School will consist in two keynote courses on subjects of exceptional promise and scientific importance delivered by highly distinguished speakers in the area plus a high-level colloquium on a complementary subject.
The Hypatia Graduate Summer School will be developed in an informal atmosphere based on discussions, exchange of ideas and critical analysis of results. Moreover, to honour its namesake, it is committed to work under a friendly gender perspective that highlights the role of women in mathematics and encourages and helps the participation and promotion of young female researchers at a professional level.

COURSES
COURSE 1 | Partial Differential Equations for Biology and Beyond
Lecturers: Gissell Estrada (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Centre de Recerca Matemàtica)
Abstract:
This course introduces key PDE frameworks used to model biological systems across scales. We will explore how mean-field limits, transport and kinetic equations, chemotactic models, and structured PDEs arise naturally from simple interaction rules and biological mechanisms. The focus will be on core ideas, illustrative examples, and connections between modelling, analysis, and emergent behaviour, highlighting the versatility of PDEs in modern mathematical biology.

ABSTRACT
TBP
James Sharpe
ICREA - European Molecular Biology Laboratory
James Sharpe is the Head of EMBL Barcelona (Tissue Biology and Disease Modelling Unit), a Senior Group Leader, and an ICREA Research Professor. He is a developmental biologist who specializes in Systems Biology, focusing on understanding complex processes like organogenesis (particularly mammalian limb development) through multi-scale computer simulations. His highly interdisciplinary approach combines biology, physics, and computer science, and he is a pioneer in the 3D imaging technique known as Optical Projection Tomography (OPT). Prior to taking his role at EMBL in 2017, he served as a Senior Group Leader and Coordinator of the Systems Biology Program at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.
