Mathematical Modeling for the Quantitative Biosciences Heidelberg University

Overview

About the program

• The focus of this Mathematical Modeling for the Quantitative Biosciences program is on applying modeling, analysis and simulation methods to biological systems at different levels of abstraction - gene regulation, signaling pathways, mechanical cell properties and cell populations.
• Through the broad and complementary expertise of its principal investigators, the Research Group will acquaint PhD students with a comprehensive array of methodologies for mathematical modeling of biological processes and computational analysis of experimental data. These include deterministic, stochastic, multiscale and spatio-temporal modeling approaches.
• As a unique part of their training, PhD students at Heidelberg University will do internships in experimental laboratories of collaborating research groups to gain first-hand experience in quantitative biological methods and to participate in planning experiments.
