This Centre was launched in response to a perceived urgent need as well as a unique opportunity to create a centre for mathematical medicine based at the Fields Institute which would formally consolidate research initiatives that are already underway. The Centre is intended to be a nidus for researchers from medicine and mathematics and to provide critical mass for new interdisciplinary research ventures and initiatives. This would establish the Centre for Mathematical Medicine (CMM) as a unique organization not only in Toronto and Ontario, but also in Canada. Funding will be sought from peer reviewed grants and also by direct fund raising activities for CMM.

Our Goals:
	Establish a Research Centre that will focus on research utilizing mathematics to address therapeutic challenges in medicine. Use mathematical modeling to direct intelligent therapeutic strategies and trials in Medicine.
	Bring together researchers from mathematics and medicine to discuss problems of current interest in the medical sciences.
	Establish a teaching program and seminar series - coordinate undergraduate and graduate teaching in Mathematical Medicine.
