Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology

The Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology is a research facility in Pushchino that uses mathematical and computational methods to understand complex biological systems and molecular processes. Its various laboratories focus on macromolecular crystallography, quantum-mechanical systems, neural networks, bioinformatics, and computational ecology.

The institute was founded in 1972 as the Research Computing Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences and originally focused on high-performance computing. After restructuring in 1992, it shifted its focus to mathematical biology and specialized in applying mathematical methods to biological research questions.

The institute serves as a center for theoretical biology in Russia, where researchers share their work through a specialized academic journal that shapes discussions on mathematical approaches to life sciences. This publication brings together scholars working on computational methods applied to living systems.

The institute is located in Pushchino, a town built specifically as a science center and open to visitors with research interests. To better understand the ongoing projects, it helps to learn about the institute's recent publications and research focus areas before visiting.

The institute developed the Generalized Spectral-Analytical Method, a specialized computational tool for analyzing biological data. This approach remains less known than modern standards but continues to be applied in specialized biological research projects today.
