  Special Session on Applications of Probability in Biology I
  Because a variety of biological phenomena are best modeled stochastically, probability theory has become an indispensable tool for solving many biological problems. Talks in this session will highlight applications of probability theory to different areas of biology, including population genetics, ecology, phylogenetics, cancer, and the spread of infectious diseases.
