Northwestern University and the University of Chicago are partnering to establish a new $50 million center that will apply mathematics to better understand fundamentals of biology. Northwestern ...

A novel mathematical approach has uncovered that some animal cells have robust 12-hour cycles of genetic activity, in addition to circadian or 24-hour cycles. A novel mathematical approach has ...

An important aspect of epizootic disease transmission modeling is to infer the extent to which small-scale processes affect large-scale dynamics. Models that couple the disease dynamics at the ...

The fruit fly’s eye consists of a highly patterned hexagonal lattice of 800 clusters of photoreceptor cells. Some of the secrets as to how this pattern formed remained a mystery until 2022. That’s ...

Monash University scientists have challenged the conventional wisdom that biological patterns are explained by physical constraints. In a study published today in Science, the researchers present ...

Our students are well-prepared to tackle complex biological systems and topics such as epidemiology, biotechnology, precision medicine and more. The undergraduate minor in computational biology ...

In addition to ascertaining that the internal vitality of the mathematical sciences is excellent, as illustrated in Chapter 2, the current study found a striking expansion in the impact of the ...

Computer scientists are looking to evolutionary biology for inspiration in the search for optimal solutions among astronomically huge sets of possibilities. Creationists love to insist that evolution ...
