What are the goals of the program?
We hope that every participant gains an increased appreciation for how mathematics, statistics, and computer science can address and resolve problems in biology and medicine. We hope that students will pursue further study in mathematical biosciences in graduate school or as postdoctoral fellows. We hope to provide college teachers with a stimulating research experience and encouragement to incorporate program materials in their classrooms.
