Faculty and students at UP Diliman have started an interdisciplinary Mathematical Life Sciences Initiative (MLSI) to network various groups involved or interested in modeling biological systems. MLSI initially organized a Mathematical and Computational Biology Lecture Series (January-March 2003):

• Current Schedule

• MCBI Lecture Series Slides

• Special Lectures

MLSI's vision is to establish a UP research and education network (community of practice) in the field of Systems Biology and other applications in Life Sciences. MLSI has established a number of joint projects with local and foreign partners - progress reports as well as contact persons can be found under the following link:

• MLSI Project Reports     

      A second series of lectures was conducted in January-February 2004:

• 2004 MLSI Lecture Series

Here is a collection of material and links on topics in this area:

• Systems Biology

• Mathematical Immunology

The Instrumentation Physics Lab at NIP has a Computational Sciences group, also active in modeling biological systems.
