Maths in Biology

Charu Sharma, senior lecturer at MSF, carried out this analysis of genetic data from 78 individuals. Some simple applications of matrices and statistics show that the individuals belong to 3 distinct groups (in fact these individuals are grouped geographically - they are from the Middle East, China and Brazil). In IAYM we will explore whether such techniques can also distinguish the healthy from those in the early stages of a disease!

Charu has a masters in Applied Mathematics from the University of Houston, and is currently collaborating with faculty of the Institute for Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB), a premier CSIR institute, towards developing mathematical tools and software for use in biology.
