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]

### Teaching and social activities

On the basis of the institute, the mathematical faculty of the Pushchino University[6] was founded in 1994.

## History

### Milestones

The Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology RAS (IMPB RAS) was founded in 1972. When organized, the Institute received the name of the Research Computing Centre (RCC) of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1992 the Research Computing Centre was reorganized into the Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology RAS.

As a result of the reorganization in RAS of 2015–16[7] IMPB has become a branch of KIAM since 15 February 2016.

### Principals

* 1972–98 Molchanov, Albert Makarievich, director, mathematician.
* 1998–2016 Lakhno, Viktor Dmitrievich, director, mathematician.
* since 2016 Lakhno, Viktor Dmitrievich, branch manager, mathematician.

### Famous faculty and alumni

* Shnol, Emmanuel El'evich
