Where do we come from? What are we? Where do we go?

The BANG research team (or "project-team" according to INRIA terminology) is a joint INRIA- Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University (UPMC) team (formerly joint INRIA-ENS) that belongs to the INRIA theme Computational Sciences for Biology, Medicine and the Environment , subtheme: "Observation, Modeling, and Control for Life Sciences".

We are a team of researchers who come from applied mathematics, but also from computer science, statistical physics and medicine, and our application domains are related to biology and medicine, and to fluid dynamics for geophysics.

The physiological or physical modelling of the complex and multiscale phenomena under study leads to the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations, or to the use of simulation methods from statistical physics, and to the development of effective and reliable numerical methods.

Of particular interest for the BANG project are problems of mathematical biology related to cell movements and cell population growth, in particular for healthy or cancer cells, subject to intact or disrupted physiological control, and to the possible restoration of this normal control by drugs.

More precisely, among other directions, and in collaboration with other research teams (see Collaborations), we are developing methods to optimise cancer pharmacotherapeutics from a molecular systems biology point of view, and simultaneously, to represent tissue growth in health or pathology, i.e., under normal or disrupted control, in a multiscale setting, in particular toward modelling for regenerative medicine.
