The MERGE project-team brings together researchers in mathematics applied to biology – specifically stochastic processes, analysis of stochastic partial differential equations, analysis of partial differential equations and inverse problems. Our aim is to introduce and study new models, stochastic or averaged, for the dynamics of interacting biological populations across scales, in close collaboration with biologists and physicians, with a particular focus on applications in microbiology.

MERGE: Mathematics for Evolution, Reproduction, Growth and Emergence

The MERGE project-team brings together researchers in mathematics applied to biology – specifically stochastic processes, analysis of stochastic partial differential equations, analysis of partial differential equations and inverse problems. Our aim is to introduce and study new models, stochastic or averaged, for the dynamics of interacting biological populations across scales, in close collaboration with biologists and physicians, with a particular focus on applications in microbiology. MERGE is a joint team between Inria and IP-Paris, at the CMAP of the Ecole Polytechnique. We benefit from the framework agreement between IP-Paris and Inria: we are members of the interdisciplinary E4H (Engineering for Health) Center, and enjoy the presence of many groups developing models and simulations for the life sciences on the Paris Saclay campus. We also participate in the very active collaborative network of the MMB “Mathematical Modeling and Biodiversity” chair (Ecole Polytechnique, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Veolia Environnement, Fondation X).
