The TIMC “Translational Research and Innovation in Medicine and Complexity” laboratory brings together scientists and clinicians around the use of computer science and applied mathematics for the understanding and control of normal and pathological processes in biology and health.
Its interdisciplinary activity contributes both to basic knowledge in these fields and to the development of systems for diagnostic and therapeutic support.
TIMC has around 300 members spread over 11 research teams, including around 160 permanent staff: researchers, teacher-researchers, engineers, technicians and administrative staff. Each year, it welcomes nearly 70 doctoral and post-doctoral students.
