Mathematical Biosciences Institute

数学生物科学研究所(MBI)是一个数学科学研究机构，在数学和生物科学的交界处促进跨学科研究。MBI的使命是(I)促进数学、统计和计算方法的开发和应用的创新，以解决生物科学中的重大问题；(Ii)让数学和生物科学家参与解决这些问题；(Iii)通过教育、培训和支持学生和研究人员，扩大数学生物科学的学者群体。数学科学和生物科学有着悠久而卓有成效的关系。数学科学被用来帮助对生物科学中的特定领域进行建模，并理解这些模型的含义。生物科学推动了新的数学理论和技术的发展。MBI将继续支持和鼓励探索这种互动的两个方向。MBI将不同的社区聚集在一起，帮助启动学科内和学科间的研究，并创建新的合作。MBI讲习班分为重点年活动和当前专题讲习班，前者促进一般领域的广度和深度，后者侧重于生物科学中适合建模的新兴领域或生物学进步所需的数学科学中的新兴领域。MBI还通过其研究所合作伙伴计划和各种推广计划影响数学生物学社区，并受到其影响。MBI的教育计划和社区建设努力丰富了数学科学界，例如，通过面向本科生和研究生的暑期计划、针对年轻科学家的研讨会、培训和教育计划、数学生物学短期课程、公开讲座，以及旨在促进来自代表性不足群体的研究人员参与的一系列计划。

The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) is a research institute for the mathematical sciences that fosters interdisciplinary research at the interface of the mathematical and biological sciences. The mission of the MBI is (i) to foster innovation in the development and application of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods for the solution of significant problems in the biosciences; (ii) to engage mathematical and biological scientists in the solution of these problems; (iii) to expand the community of scholars in mathematical biosciences through education, training, and support of students and researchers. The mathematical sciences and the biological sciences have had a long and fruitful relationship. The mathematical sciences have been used to help model specific areas in the biological sciences and to understand the implications of these models. The biological sciences have motivated the development of new mathematical theories and techniques. MBI will continue to support and encourage exploration of both directions of this interaction. MBI brings together disparate communities to help initiate research within and between disciplines and create new collaborations. MBI workshops are divided between emphasis year activities that promote both breadth and depth in a general area and current topic workshops that focus on emerging areas in the biological sciences that are ripe for modeling or on emerging areas in the mathematical sciences that are needed for progress in biology. MBI also influences and is influenced by the mathematical biology community through its Institute Partner program and its various outreach programs. MBI's education programs and community building efforts enrich the mathematical sciences community, for example through summer programs for undergraduates and for graduate students, workshops for young scientists, training and education programs, short courses in mathematical biology, public lectures, and a range of programs designed to facilitate the participation of researchers from underrepresented groups.
