Mathematical Biosciences Institute
[edit]The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI), founded in 2002, offers a vigorous program of research and education in the mathematical biosciences, and helps promote the growth of an international community of researchers in this field.
Mission
The mission of MBI is to foster innovation in the development and application of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods for the solution of significant problems in the biosciences; to engage mathematical and biological scientists in the solution of these problems; and to expand the community of scholars in mathematical biosciences through education, training, and support of students and researchers.
Programs
To support this mission, MBI offers annual emphasis year programs consisting of six workshops, current topic workshops, and educational programs, in areas of bioscience where participation of the mathematical sciences is expected to lead to important progress. Postdoctoral fellows, long- and short-term visitors, and workshop participants take part in MBI’s unique interdisciplinary programs crafted to help meet the challenges and opportunities facing mathematical bioscience researchers today.
Background
The Mathematical Biosciences Institute, which resides in Jennings Hall on The Ohio State University campus, is one of seven National Science Foundation funded Mathematical Sciences Institutes. Avner Friedman was the founder of the institute and was its Director from 2002-2008. Martin Golubitsky is MBI’s current Director.
