ABOUT
This Initiative was started to serve the mandate of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics (IMSP) as a National Center of Excellence (NCOE) in the Basic Sciences, which is “to help advance science and technology in the country, and specifically, to strengthen and broaden the national capability to train scientific leaders and conduct research in the basic sciences”. The Initiative supports the distinctive excellence thrusts of UPLB in agriculture, natural resources and the environment.
>>>Mission<<<
Our goal is to help solve emerging problems in biology and related fields by providing quantitative predictions, solutions and analysis.
We aim to understand biological phenomena by translating biological ideas into the language of mathematics.
>>>Vision<<<
We see the UPLB BioMathematics Initiative as the medium that bridges the life sciences and mathematics. We envision the Initiative to be transformed into a strong research program and a model for interdisciplinary research collaboration.
