Renowned professor Philip K. Maini from the University of Oxford visited the Department of Mathematics

Renowned professor Philip K. Maini from the University of Oxford visited the Department of Mathematics and held two lectures as part of his visit. The first lecture titled "Modelling Collective Cell Movement in Biology" was held on Monday, March 18, as part of the Colloquium "Sibe Mardešić" of the Department of Mathematics. You can read the abstract here. Second lecture titled "Mathematical Biology and the Wolfson Center". he held on Wednesday, March 20, and through the lecture he told about the history of the Wolfson Center for Mathematical Biology (of which he is the director) and the research conducted there. This lecture was designed in such a way that it would be interesting for both teachers and students, and the student response was great. However, we are pleased to point out that there was great interest from the students for the first lecture also. This is not the first time that the Department of Mathematics and Professor Maini have collaborated. When creating the curriculum for the graduate study Biomedical Mathematics in English, our teachers who were project leaders visited Professor Maini and his closest collaborators in Oxford to exchange experiences with leading experts in the field. Professor Maini then praised the idea and the curriculum and was glad to see that the study of Biomedical Mathematics is active and that the first generation of students attending it will graduate this year. We are pleased that the Department of Mathematics achieves cooperation with world-renowned experts, and there will be more and more guest appearances like this in the future.


ENROLL IN MATHEMATICS


Faculty of Science develops first...

 

University graduate biomedical mathematics study programme, first programme of that kind in this part of Europe, is being developed at Department od Mathematics, Faculty of Science Zagreb.

Curriculum and programme is being developed within BioMedMath project, financed by EU European Social Fund through Operational Programme Efficient Human Resources 2014-2020. Project manager, dr. Hrvoje Šikić, PhD, points out that demand and need for this kind of study programme has been increasing throughout last decade and with suport from ESF that vision comes to life, just in time: 

Increasing role of mathematics in biology and medicine is trend that has been visible even in larger public domain, for the big part because of the accomplishment of well-known Genome Project. Latest problems generated by the ongoing pandemy and the necessity for predictions based on mathematical models emphasize the importance of cooperation between biologists, medical experts and mathematicians. In modern science, application of sofisticated mathematical methods is present in genetics, bioinformatics, tumor growth models, brain research, cardiovascular system research, organ growth processes, aging processes, evoulution processes, ecology, just to name few.”

As Project manager points out, lecturers at this study programme are experts in the fields of mathematics, biology and medicine:

We were lucky enough to form an excellent team of associates from Biology department, School of Medicine and Ruđer Bošković Institute and we can offer modern, world-class programme that is, for the most part, based on research that project associates do in their regular scientific work."

Since this is first study programme of that kind in Croatia and this part of Europe, cooperation with well experienced institution in that scientific area, University of Oxford as on of the leading centers in biomedical mathematics, was accomplished through project.

Biomedical mathematics study programme is two-year international programme conducted in English language, intended primarily for students who completed university undergraduate mathematics study or equal study programme anywhere in the world, but students who completed other similar undergraduate study programmes can also enroll with taking additional mathematics courses. Project implementation ends at the end of the year when study programme proposal will be submitted for accreditation. University of Zagreb has excellent experience in foreign student mobility (student visas, housing arrangements and accomodation, learning of Croatian language and culture) we expect that the study programme will be fully operational as soon as internatonal evaluation is completed.
