Welcome to the Webpage for the

Biomathematics Research Group

     The Biomathematics Research Group consists of 9 graduate faculty members. In addition, 10 faculty members within the department are associate members of the Biomathematics Research Group. Our research group is active in many areas of biomathematics including areas related to epidemiology, medicine, biomechanics, population biology, population genetics, ecology, and physiology.

     In addition to interactions within the group and department, members of the group have associations with faculty at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, The Institute for Environmental and Human Health, and with faculty in other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture, and the College of Engineering. Members also have active collaborations with scientists in the United States and internationally. Many of the research activities are supported through extramural funding from agencies including the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the State of Texas.

     Graduate students participating in the biomathematics program have many opportunities to become involved in research activities of the group. Through course work in biomathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics, participation in interdisciplinary seminars, and presentations given at local and national meetings, graduate students can become an integral part of the biomathematics research community. This graduate training allows students to become active participants at the frontiers of research in biomathematics.
