Building skills for a career in research

Our summer undergraduate researchers recently attended a mentorship workshop to gain valuable guidance and practice critical skills with NITMB’s Leader of Education, Training, & Outreach, Lois Trautvetter!

We’re moved by the impact of Ricardo Cortez on the mathematical biology community and proud to have hosted the reception at NITMB and

Celebrating the accomplishments and impact of Ricardo Cortez

Last evening we hosted a reception honoring Ricardo Cortez, Pendergraft William Larkin Duren Professor in the Mathematics Department at Tulane University.

Evolutionary Games: Mathematical Theory and Biological Insights

I am really happy to share that there will be a @nitmb.bsky.social workshop next year on mathematical and biological features of evolutionary game theory.

It was really fun to co-organize this workshop with Olivia Chu, Alex McAvoy, and @jplotkin.bsky.social.

🙌 We're looking forward to it!

Also make sure to check out their posters at the NITMB MathBio Convergence Conference to learn more about what they’re working on this summer!

We’re excited to welcome the 2025 cohort of Summer Undergraduate Research Program participants!

The 2025 cohort will be at NITMB until August 15th. Please take a moment to greet our undergraduates and welcome them to the NITMB community!

From REU to Population Biology Workshop Participant

We reconnected with former Center for Quantitative Biology REU participant Mete Yuksel after he recently attended an NITMB workshop focussed on population biology!
