Multiscale Biology

For starters, let us admit the obvious that we use a number of physical and chemical variables to explain the behaviour of living things. We can model these variables as sets and make a number of possible histories with various values for each variable. If we find a set that best explains the data, we…

What is mathematical medicine used for and how does it work? Many individuals have heard of the breakthrough new treatments being offered through modern medical science, such as stem cell transplants and chemotherapy. While these procedures are very successful in healing those who need them, they can also have some harmful side effects, making many…

Mathematicians and biochemists are the people usually asked this question. It is not an easy answer to give because it is really an amalgamation of different sciences including microbiology, chemistry, genetics, physiology and veterinary science. In other words, the study of the biology using mathematical methods. Some people do not like the word “mathematical”, but…

Computational Biology is one of the most important branches of biology. It deals with the study and engineering of information systems, analyzing the functions and processes of living things. The field combines the concepts of biology with computer science, mathematics, and information science. Computational Biology has made significant advances in recent years with the invention…

Bioinformatics is a discipline which studies the structure and function of DNA and RNA molecules. It integrates genetic programming with DNA and RNA sequence analysis. It also deals with the study of the relationship between DNA and protein structures. It is a rapidly expanding field which looks at how the accumulation of data about living…
