Research of Mathematical and Statistical Methods (Biometris)
The experts of Biometris develop statistical and mathematical methods for the quantification of biological processes and processes in our living environment. We work from gene to ecosystem, and from product to production chain. We bring quantitative methods to life!
Biometris consists of a Business unit and two chair groups: Applied Mathematics and Applied Statistics. The unit and the two chair groups together form one group: Biometris.
Research themes
Statistical genetics
We develop methodology for sound inference for genetic, genomic and phenotypic data.
Applied mathematics for life sciences
We use mathematical models to explore how living systems function and interact, from the growth of plants and cells to the dynamics of ecosystems and human societies.
Data science
With machine learning, algorithms and statistical principles, we discern patterns in complex datasets.
Risk assessment in food safety
We aim to understand, quantify and manage risks in complex biological, environmental and food systems to support rational, science-based decision-making.
Mathematical and Statistical Methods (Biometris)
Biometris, led by Carel Peeters and Peter Heijster brings mathematics and statistics to life in the worlds of biology, agriculture and the environment.
