Mathematical Biosciences Institute

数学生物科学研究所（MBI）是一个数学科学研究所，促进数学和生物科学之间的跨学科研究。 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来扩大数学生物科学的学者社区。 数学科学和生物科学有着长期而富有成果的关系。 数学科学已经被用来帮助模拟生物科学中的特定领域，并理解这些模型的含义。 生物科学促进了新的数学理论和技术的发展。 MBI将继续支持和鼓励对这种互动的两个方向的探索。MBI汇集了不同的社区，以帮助在学科内部和学科之间开展研究，并建立新的合作。 MBI研讨会分为重点年活动，促进一般领域的广度和深度，以及当前主题研讨会，重点关注生物科学中成熟的建模新兴领域或生物学进步所需的数学科学新兴领域。 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。 MBI的教育计划和社区建设工作丰富了数学科学界，例如通过本科生和研究生的暑期课程，青年科学家的研讨会，培训和教育计划，数学生物学短期课程，公开讲座以及一系列旨在促进代表性不足群体的研究人员参与的计划。

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.
