The goal of the biomathematics group at ITQB is the quantitative analysis of biological systems with special emphasis on the identification of unifying quantities and methodologies. This objective is pursued by multidisciplinary collaborations with other groups at ITQB and elsewhere.
From a methodological point of view, the claim for originality of this group is the use of the structure and behaviour of biological systems as a model for the development of data analysis techniques - biology as a model for mathematics. This inversion of Galilei's cornerstone formulation - mathematics is the language of nature - is at the core of the ongoing revolution in biomathematics. it has been made possible by the advent of parallel processing, which enables simulation of the networked multi-agent nature of biological systems.
