On an August morning in a Northwestern developmental biology lab, a team of researchers casts its collective eyes on thousands of roundworms culled from sites around the globe. Using robotics to scan ...

The study of biology will increasingly require skill in math, or “a toolbox of diverse mathematical approaches,” according to a new article published in the journal Science. I don’t know if biologists ...

Overview of Math Biology Research in the Applied Math Department David Bortz will give an overview of the math bio group here in the Applied Math Department. He will also describe his research group ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

How can mathematicians help to solve questions about biology? By using mathematical methods to tackle highly complex problems such as stopping a disease outbreak, or predicting the effects of global ...

For more than a century, the notion that females are innately less capable than males at doing mathematics, especially at the highest levels, has persisted in even the loftiest circles. For more than ...

I just purchased a copy of A Biologist's Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution by Sarah P. Otto and Troy Day. My main rationale for getting this book was that I wanted a reference ...

New math model controls biological noise at single-cell level, offering a path to tackle cancer relapse and drug resistance.
