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 ...

The careful modeling, analysis, and simulation of living systems using the tools of applied mathematics have led to novel biological insights. Our faculty develop mathematical models and perform ...

Having levels of potassium that are too high or too low can be fatal. A new mathematical model sheds light on the often mysterious ways the body regulates this important electrolyte. Having levels of ...

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 ...

This half-credit course discusses classical mathematical models of biological systems, with emphasis on the modeling process. Modeling tools used include ordinary and partial differential equations as ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

Imagine cells navigating through a complex maze, guided by chemical signals and the physical landscape of their environment. A team of researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC ...

The formal foundations of systems biology were articulated in the early 2000s, when Leroy Hood and colleagues at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle proposed a framework combining systematic ...
