The Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology RAS (Russian: Институт математических проблем биологии) is a research institute specializing in computational biology and bioinformatics. The objective of the institute is elaboration of mathematical and computational methods for biological research, as well as implementation of these methods directly addressing the problems of computational biology. Since 2016, it has been renamed into the Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology RAS – the Branch of Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences (IMPB RAS – Branch of KIAM RAS).
The Institute publishes the scientific journal "Mathematical biology & bioinformatics".[1]
