PROPOSED ACTIVITIES OF THE CENTRE
RESEARCH & INNOVATION
- To realize the above-mentioned objectives in both the disease and ecological modeling by the different working groups formed in the years to come.
- It is proposed to have a series of virtual talks from different researchers in mathematical biology as an outreach to the wider scientific community with a frequency of one talk in a month under the aegis of the center with the help of other core committee members from other institutions.
- It is proposed to have a research presentation by members from medical/Industry or allied fields and a follow-up discussion amongst the members of the centre for possible solutions and collaborations with the other science members. This can help in the Inter-Disciplinary research aspect which is one of the primary objectives of this center. The frequency of these sessions can be once every two months.
- This centre in due course of time should become a resource pool for researchers in Math Biology and should evolve into a focused research hub in socially relevant Inter Disciplinary research.
EDUCATION
- To offer Mathematical biology as an elective both at the UG and PG level
- To offer Mathematical Biology as a specialization both at the UG and PG levels with the help of core committee members from other institutions
- To offer Ph. D. programmes in mathematical biology and allied areas with the help of other core committee members from other reputed institutions.
- To design and offer certificate courses in mathematical biology with the help of core committee members from other institutions
- To ensure that all academic programs in Mathematical Biology at various levels follow the SSSIHL Regulations for relevant programs.
EXTENSION
- To conduct conferences/workshops/seminars/symposia/webinars to encourage interdisciplinary research in the area of mathematical biology for faculty & research students of various institutions and other interested professionals in the industry
- Start an interdisciplinary journal
- Conduct at least one international workshop in collaboration with Industry once in two years
