There's an interesting interdisciplinary collaboration developing on the application of Platonic forms.  Michael Levin is a sort of leader in this space (pun intended) with his emphasis on how we discover, rather than create, mathematical constants of nature that our physics cannot change. I'm fond of quoting Gilson that mathematicians and physicists tend to be Platonists whereas biologists and physicians understand the messiness of our world, but Levin appears to have recruited at least some biologists to this idea.
