Descripción: IGC. Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência «Theoretical and mathematical biology, with special focus on dynamical and organizational issues in the physiology of the immune system.
Bridging theorists and experimentalists in respect to the relationship between healthy immune activity and autoimmune disease.
Problems arising on the extent developmental and adult animal physiology can be articulated with current evolution theory.
The organisation of the living and its immediate environment and their mutual, but assymetric, dependency. The possibility to develop a mathematical language (perhaps based on cathegory theory?) that allows to capture that organization and describe the unique properties of biological entities, complementary to the current mathematical language of physics.»
