Mathematical biology centre launched

Tennessee institute will focus on dynamics of animal disease.

A new US institute that will be part funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will aim to become the world centre for collaboration between mathematicians and biologists.

The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) will bring mathematical approaches to problems across biology, with a particular focus on modelling the dynamics of animal disease.
