Research Labs

Biosciences Lab

Introduction

The Biosciences Lab at the Zhu Chongzhi Center, Duke Kunshan University, is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of mathematics, biology, and healthcare. By combining rigorous mathematical modeling with data-driven approaches, the lab seeks to address fundamental scientific questions and real-world challenges in biomedical sciences. The focus is on developing innovative frameworks—such as differential equations, stochastic processes, and computational algorithms—to better understand biological dynamics and inform medical applications.

In addition to research, the lab serves as a platform for collaboration and student academic training. We actively engage with scholars from biosciences, healthcare, and related fields through invited talks and joint projects, while also fostering connections with internal DKU programs such as the Global Health Research Center and the Medical Physics Program. Through project-based mentorship and independent study opportunities, students gain hands-on experience in mathematical biology, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to interdisciplinary research and future careers in science and technology.

Data Science Lab

Introduction

Mathematics and data science are deeply intertwined: mathematics provides the theoretical backbone for modeling, analysis and algorithms; data science offers new challenges and applications that drive innovation in mathematical research. The mission of the Data Science Lab at Zu Chongzhi Center is to advance the field of mathematical data science, combining rigorous mathematical theory with data-driven methods to solve complex problems and stimulate interdisciplinary discovery. We aim to create a dynamic hub where mathematical insight and data science practice meet, inspiring both scholarly inquiry and practical impact. The lab pursues this mission through research in applied mathematics, machine learning, and computational methods; seminar talks and workshops that promote idea exchanges; as well as student-oriented activities around the DKU curriculum.
