Propelled by the success of the sequencing of the human and many
related genomes, molecular and cellular biology has delivered
significant scientific breakthroughs. Mathematics (broadly defined)
continues to play a major role in this effort, helping to discover
the secrets of life by working collaboratively with bench
biologists, chemists and physicists.
Because of its outstanding record of interdisciplinary research
and training, the IMA was an ideal venue for the 2007-2008 IMA
thematic year on Mathematics of Molecular and Cellular Biology. The
kickoff event for this thematic year was a tutorial on Mathematics
of Nucleic Acids, followed by the workshop Mathematics of Molecular
and Cellular Biology, held September 15--21 at the IMA. This volume
is dedicated to the memory of Nicholas R. Cozzarelli, a dynamic
leader who fostered research and training at the interface between
mathematics and molecular biology. It contains a personal
remembrance of Nick Cozzarelli, plus 15 papers contributed by
workshop speakers. The papers give an overview of state-of-the-art
mathematical approaches to the understanding of DNA structure and
function, and the interaction of DNA with proteins that mediate
vital life processes.
