Mathematical Biology
The PIMS International Graduate Training Centre (IGTC) in Mathematical Biology started in September 2007 and continued for five years under PIMS funding. This is the first graduate training centre sponsored and funded by PIMS. It focuses on the training of graduate students in mathematical biology at PIMS universities. The two main hubs for the IGTC activities are the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia, but all PIMS member and affiliate universities are invited to participate at significant levels.In 2012, the IGTC received a significant award from MPrime that enables it to continue training new students.
The IGTC graduate training elements include annual research summits, summer courses, new term-time courses, seminars, graduate student exchanges, and international visitors. More detail on these and other elements of the IGTC can be found in other pages on this website. Graduate students engaged in mathematical biology training are encouraged to enroll in the IGTC program. More details are available on the IGTC Program page and for information on enrollment see the Application page.
The call for applications for 2012 fellowships is now closed.
Faculty are invited to participate in the program. For further information, see faculty involvement page.
