Biomathematics and Theoretical Bioinformatics
Our group,
led by Ellen Baake, establishes a bridge between bioinformatics and
mathematics. Our main area of research is the mathematical theory of biological evolution, in
particular population genetics. We seek to understand the dynamics of
genes in populations under the joint influence of mutation, selection,
recombination and genetic drift. The tools we use come from probability theory (branching
processes, interactive particle systems, large deviations) as well as from the theory of
dynamical systems.

DFG Collaborative Research Centre 1283
The CRC focuses on taming uncertainty and profiting from randomness and low regularity'. It aims at developing the underlying concepts and theory, and at their application to long-standing open problems in economics and the sciences.
Research Center for Mathematical Modeling RCM²
The Research Centre for Mathematical Modelling (RCM²) is an inter-departmental institution of Bielefeld University which provides a common platform for applications of mathematics to the sciences. The activities include both research and training in mathematical modelling and in mathematical solution techniques.
