TITLE: PDEs in biology
QUESTION [12 upvotes]: I am student who mostly heard lectures on partial differential equations and homogenization. But I really like the idea of working in biology or with biologists - but (with my lack of overview) it seems to me it's either statistics or some ODE problems.
Is there anything more PDE releated in biology?

REPLY [3 votes]: Just graduated in a masters course at ICL: "MSc Theoretical Systems Biology & Bioinformatics", I can say it was some of the most exciting stuff I had ever come across. 
I think you would be more interested in the "Systems Biology" aspect - it covers dynamical systems theory (PDEs, ODEs, SDEs, Agent-based modelling, quantum molecular modelling, stability analysis etc, Gillespie simulations, chaos), control theory, graph theory (networks), biophysics, biotech, bioengineering and synthetic biology. 
Useful Info:

The more general realm of mathematics that goes beyond Biology is "complex systems" or "complexity science" (WIKI).
Have a look at some of these online MIT lectures (HERE)
