Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB)

The Emerging Mathematics in Biology (eMB) program aims to stimulate the development of innovative mathematical theories, techniques, and approaches to investigate challenging questions of great interest to biologists and public health policymakers. The program supports truly integrative research projects in mathematical biology that address challenging and significant biological questions through novel applications of traditional, but nontrivial, mathematical tools and methods or the development of new mathematical theories. Key aspects of the program include: • Investigating complex, dynamic, and heterogeneous biological systems at all scales • Developing new mathematical theories, particularly from foundational mathematics, including the mathematical foundation of Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning/Machine Learning (AI/DL/ML) • Advancing understanding of biological systems through mathematical methodologies • Supporting research projects that address significant biological questions through novel mathematical approaches
