Mathematical Biology is an interdisciplinary area of research that lies at the intersection of significant mathematical problems and fundamental questions in biology. It is commonly joint work with biologists, physicists, chemists, engineers, and social scientists to construct models of phenomena in the life sciences. These models could confirm, explore, and predict the biological systems, and more importantly, identify and analyze the emergent structures in the biological processes.
The implication from the mathematical results could diagnose, cure, prevent, and influence the system. The scale of the problems may range from the microscopic cellular level to the individual person to the population to the world-wide environmental level.
