The Biomathematics Resource (BMR) was established in September, 1992 to provide advanced mathematics and computer science expertise to research programs and to the Mayo community as a whole. The BMR is charged with the following responsibilities:

• Establish collaborations with Mayo investigators and/or clinicians on projects which require advanced mathematical and/or computational methods.
• Develop new methodologies that will aid Mayo researchers and clinicians and make these readily available.
• Provide expertise in mathematical and computational methods in the sense of consulting, answering questions, understanding the literature, and being a resource to the Mayo community.
• Provide courses within the Mayo Graduate School in mathematical and computational methodology
• Promote in the Mayo environment successful new mathematical models, algorithms or computational methods developed elsewhere.
• Transfer technologies within Mayo: become familiar with the capabilities of various groups, and be able to recognize when mathematical or computational techniques developed in one group will be of use somewhere else.
