Modeling, Physics, and Mathematics of Living Systems

This program aims to position the Université Côte d’Azur internationally with respect to the new interfaces of biology and medicine with various disciplines. These interactions will enable the development of new analysis and simulation models of living systems.

Program objectives:

  1. Create a network of expertise to link imaging techniques, image analysis, physical and mathematical modeling, and computer science to better describe phenomena in molecular and cellular biology.
  2. Aid the creation of strong collaborations between modelers, biologists, and doctors.
  3. Develop new tools, experimental platforms, and new analysis methods.
  4. Offer innovative training alongside this research.
