Mathematical Biosciences Institute

俄亥俄州州立大学的数学生物科学研究所（MBI）将成为数学科学家和生物科学家在广泛的生物学问题上进行跨学科工作的基地。MBI的使命是：（i）发展数学理论、统计方法和计算算法，以解决生物科学中的基础问题;（ii）使生物科学家和生物科学家参与解决这些问题;以及（iii）通过教育和支持数学生物科学的学生和研究人员来培养一个学者社区。 为了促进其使命和总体目标，MBI将建立在现有的研究努力，在数学生物科学和将鼓励人类的研究发展和智力增长。MBI将建立重点年计划，当前的主题研讨会，教育问题，和研究项目。MBI计划的参与者将在全国范围内招募来自学科的生物科学，数学和统计，并将包括高级研究人员，博士后和研究生。 为了增加该计划的影响力和凝聚力，每年都将努力联系并建立在前几年取得的进展之上。 MBI将举办关于生物科学当前主题的特别研讨会，为生物科学的参与提供机会。 该研究所还将为大学教师、学生和高中教师举办数学生物科学方面的暑期教育课程。

The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) at Ohio State Universitywill be a base for interdisciplinary work by mathematical scientistsand biological scientists on a broad range of biological problems.The mission of the MBI is (i) to develop mathematical theories,statistical methods, and computational algorithms for the solution offundamental problems in the biosciences; (ii) to involve mathematicalscientists and bioscientists in the solution of these problems; and(iii) to nurture a community of scholars through education and supportof students and researchers in the mathematical biosciences. Topromote its mission and overall goals, the MBI will build uponexisting research efforts in the mathematical biosciences and willencourage human research development and intellectual growth.The MBI will establish emphasis year programs, current topicworkshops, educational problems, and research projects.Participants in MBI programs will be recruited nationally fromthe disciplines of the biosciences, mathematics, andstatistics, and will include senior researchers, postdoctoralfellows, and graduate students. To increase the impact andcohesion of the program, there will be efforts each year toconnect to and build upon progress achieved in the precedingyears. The MBI will hold special workshops on current topics inthe biosciences that offer opportunities for mathematicalinvolvement. The Institute will also conduct summer educationalprograms in the mathematical biosciences for college instructors,students, and high school teachers.
