Vertically Integrated Interdisciplinary Training in Mathematics for Human Health

The NSF RTG: Vertically Integrated Interdisciplinary Training in Mathematics for Human Health program in the Departments of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Arlington provides a unique vertically integrated education, mentoring, and interdisciplinary research experience for three multi-level cohorts of undergraduates, doctoral students, and postdoctoral associates under the RTG training themes of Cancer Biology, Computational Neurology, and Vector-Borne Diseases.

The RTG program consists of team research projects at the interface of mathematics and biology; travel to present RTG research results at professional meetings; summer research at UTA and the opportunity to participate in supervised industry/ laboratory internships at partner institution; extensive joint co-mentoring from UTA mathematics and health sciences faculty as well as guidance in pursuing successful careers in the mathematical sciences and in other interdisciplinary professions.
