The formidable challenges and potential breakthroughs currently emerging in biology, medical research, genomics, and proteomics will strongly influence mathematical innovation in the 21st century. Responding to this scientific tide,
the Department of Mathematics at UH, Biology Department at UH,
the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University, the Department of Statistics at Rice
University, the UT Health Science Center in Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Heart Institute, and
MD Anderson Cancer Center, have created a center that will forge research and educational links between the mathematical sciences on the one hand and the biosciences and medicine on the other. The Center forms a bridge between several interdisciplinary clusters at the University of Houston and the exceptionally strong biomedical research in Houston involving the Medical Center and Rice University.
