Dr. Allen Tannenbaum - Ohio State's

Mathematical Biosciences Institute

MBI Offers a Vigorous Program of Research and Education, and Fosters the Growth of an International Community of

Researchers in Mathematical Biosciences

As a Goodrich Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham,

Dr. Allen Tannenbaum educates students of its Comprehensive Cancer Center and

Radiology Departments. In 2014, Dr. Allen Tannenbaum will sit on the organization committee for Ohio State University’s

Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) in biomedical imaging.

Providing educational and research opportunities, MBI offers a myriad of services for scientists around the world. It inspires a

greater understanding of the use of mathematical, computational, and statistical models for biosciences, and it promotes the development of new fields. The endeavors available from MBI expand upon existing

research while providing students with greater insights into these areas.

Additionally, MBI hosts seminars for enrollees and the public. Undergraduates can

spend their summers delving into mathematical biology through classroom sessions and fieldwork. Those earning

advanced degrees can acquire insights into how various processes can be applied to

different topics. Moreover, its public lecture series has featured topics such as how mathematics can help understand heart

attacks, the science of drag racing, and the operations of a honeybee colony.
