Evolution from DNA to the Organism: The Interface Between Evolutionary Biology and the Mathematical Sciences

9602229查韦斯该奖项支持一个涉及数学、统计学和进化生物学的培训项目的发展。该项目是由来自9个系和行政单位的11名核心教员和8名附属教员共同努力，他们将在本科生和研究生的教育和培训方面进行合作。教学和研究计划将重点放在理论和经验相结合的方法上，以理解从单个基因到生物体和种群的各种尺度上的进化。该计划旨在使学生对进化生物学和应用数学有足够的理解水平，使他们能够在现代数量生物学的前沿工作。

9602229 Chavez This award supports development of a training program involving mathematics, statistics and evolutionary biology. The project is a joint effort of 11 core faculty members and 8 associated faculty from 9 departments and administrative units who will collaborate in the education and training of undergraduate and graduate students. The didactic and research programs will focus on a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to the understanding of evolution considered at scales ranging from that of individual genes to that of organisms and populations. The program aims to equip students with a level of understanding of evolutionary biology and of applied mathematics sufficient to permit them to work at the forefront of modern quantitative biology.
