Mathematical Biology at the University of Utah

Program Overview

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah has a research group consisting of 5 faculty, 10 postdoctoral fellows, and 26 graduate students, whose work is at the forefront of mathematical biology research and education.

Research in Mathematical Biology is in four broad areas: Biofluids, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Neuroscience and Physiology. The goal of this effort is to use mathematical reasoning and techniques to gain insights into complex biological phenomena.
