Mathematical Biosciences Institute

俄亥俄州立大学的数学生物科学研究所(MBI)将是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的任务是(I)开发数学理论、统计方法和计算算法来解决生物科学中的基本问题；(Ii)让数学家和生物科学家参与解决这些问题；以及(Iii)通过教育和支持学生和数学生物科学研究人员来培养学者群体。为了促进其使命和总体目标，MBI将在现有的数学生物科学研究努力的基础上，鼓励人类的研究发展和智力增长。MBI将设立重点年度计划、当前的专题研讨会、教育问题和研究项目。MBI计划的参与者将从生物科学、数学和统计学的学科中面向全国招募，将包括高级研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生。为了提高该方案的影响力和凝聚力，每年都将努力与前几年取得的进展相联系，并在此基础上再接再厉。MBI将举办关于当前生物科学主题的特别研讨会，为参与数学研究提供机会。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暑期教育项目。

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.
