The mathematical and computational biology group engages in collaborative, interdisciplinary research with partners across a broad range of the biological and biomedical sciences.
Many of our students have secondary advisors in other disciplines, particularly those in the Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences (AMCS) PhD program. In our research, we strive to develop and leverage a firm foundation in mathematics to solve problems of genuine importance in biology.
