Overall objectives
BIGS is a joint team of Inria, CNRS and University of Lorraine, within the Institut Élie Cartan of Lorraine (IECL), UMR 7502 CNRS-UL laboratory in mathematics, of which Inria is a strong partner. One member of BIGS, T. Bastogne, comes from the Research Center of Automatic Control of Nancy (CRAN), with which BIGS has strong relations in the domain “Health-Biology-Signal”. Our research is mainly focused on stochastic modeling and statistics but also aims at a better understanding of biological systems. BIGS involves applied mathematicians whose research interests mainly concern probability and statistics. More precisely, our attention is directed on (1) stochastic modeling, (2) estimation and control for stochastic processes, (3) regression and machine learning, and (4) statistical learning and application in health. The main objective of BIGS is to exploit these skills in applied mathematics to provide a better understanding of issues arising in life sciences, with a special focus on (1) tumor growth and heterogeneity, (2) gene networks, (3) telomere length dynamics, (4) epidemiology and e-health.
