Madhav Gadgil made transformative contributions to ecological science in India by systematically integrating mathematics into ...

For most of the 20th century, mathematics was seen as a close and natural partner of physics and engineering. Secondary and postsecondary mathematics educators channeled the mainstream of their ...

Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

This Collection is focused on hybrid biological models, bioinformatics, and epidemiological models. It maximizes reader understanding of control, optimization, and applications of complex biological ...

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the answer appears to lie not in genetic differences, but in biological noise - ...

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

One of the most enduring, basic questions of life is: How does it happen? For instance, in human development, how do cells self-organize into skin, muscles or bones? How do they form a brain, a finger ...

Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through.

The dynamics of wealth are not fully understood. In order to gain insight on these dynamics, we can use mathematical models. One application of modeling wealth distribution is gentrification.

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 ...
