MERGE

MERGE gathers researchers all working in  mathematics - more precisely stochastic processes, Partial Differential Equations (PDE) analysis and inverse problems - applied to biology. We aim at introducing and studying new models, stochastic as well as averaged, for biological interacting population dynamics through scales, in close collaboration with experimentalists, and with a special focus to the applications in microbiology. MERGE is a joint team between Inria and IP-Paris, and is located in the CMAP (Centre de Mathématiques Appliquées) of Ecole polytechnique. It is situated in the  rich environment formed by the "accord-cadre" between IP-Paris and Inria, the very active collaboration network of Sylvie Méléard's Chaire program "Mathematical Modelling and Biodiversity" (Ecole polytechnique, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Veolia Environment, Fondation X), and the many  groups developing models and simulations for the life sciences on the Paris Saclay campus.
