Quantitative biology is an interdisciplinary field that applies mathematical and statistical techniques to understand biological systems. It involves the use of models and data analysis to study processes such as cell growth, population dynamics, and genetic variation. By quantifying biological phenomena, researchers can make predictions and gain insights into complex life processes.
This field encompasses various areas, including bioinformatics, systems biology, and ecology. Quantitative biologists often use computational tools to analyze large datasets, helping to uncover patterns and relationships in biological data. This approach enhances our understanding of health, evolution, and environmental interactions.
