The Institute for Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology (ICSMB) has as its unifying intellectual theme the study of complex dynamics and its applications.
Since applications of complex dynamics necessarily involve bridging gaps between abstract concepts, on the one hand, and scientific, engineering, medical, and social fields where the applications occur, on the other, we devote special effort to facilitate cross-disciplinary contact and interaction.
In particular, the theory of complex dynamical systems plays a central role in integrating mathematical developments with biological experiments. The synergistic developments in systems biology research are vigorously promoted and pursued by the Institute. We use a wide range of mathematical approaches to uncover the general principles and mechanisms governing biological processes and function at all levels.
