The '''Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology''' RAS ({{lang-ru|link=no|Институт математических проблем биологии}}) is a research institute specializing in [[Computation|computation]]al [[Biology:Biology|biology]] and [[Biology:Bioinformatics|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 [[Biology:Computational biology|computational biology]]. Since 2016, it has been renamed into the '''Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology RAS – the Branch of [[Organization:Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics|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''".<ref name="matbio-jurnal">Official website of [http://www.matbio.org/ the journal "Mathematical biology & bioinformatics"].</ref>

==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<ref>{{in lang|ru}} [http://www.keldysh.ru/fano.pdf The order on accession IMPB to the KIAM]</ref> '''IMPB''' has become a branch of [[Organization:Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics|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
