Congratulations to Jochen (@JochenKursawe) on passing his D.Phil. viva! Jochen's thesis "Quantitative approaches to epithelial morphogenesis" makes a number of contributions, providing new mechanistic models for epithelial morphogenesis, methods for quantitative data analysis, and investigating how to interrogate mechanistic models using quantitative data. After finishing his EPSRC … Continue Reading ››
Delighted to welcome Gergely Rost (http://www.math.u-szeged.hu/~rost/) from the University of Szeged, Hungary as a Marie Curie Individual Fellow in my group. Gergely will spend 18 months working with us, sharing his knowledge and expertise in delay differential equations and bifurcation theory, and learning about our research in quantitative cell and developmental biology.
(Belated) congratulations to Linus (@LinusSchumacher) on being granted leave to supplicate for his D.Phil.!
Linus' thesis explores the role of collective cell migration and self-organisation in the development of the embryo and in vitro tissue formation through mathematical and computational approaches. We consider how population heterogeneity, microenvironmental signals and cell-cell interactions facilitate cells to collectively … Continue Reading ››

Excited to welcome Jonathan Harrison to the group for his 12-week DTC project!
Jonathan will be working joint with the groups of Ilan Davis in Biochemistry and Jens Rittscher in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering to explore mechanisms for mRNA localisation.
Congratulations to Graham for passing his viva on Friday!
Parameter recovery in AC solution-phase voltammetry and a consideration of some issues arising when applied to surface-confined reactions
A major problem in the quantitative analysis of AC voltammetric data has been the variance in results between laboratories, often resulting from a reliance on "heuristic" methods of parameter estimation that are strongly dependent on … Continue Reading ››
Congratulations to Debbie on passing her viva on Wednesday!
Spatial correlation models for cell populations
Determining the emergent behaviour of a population from the interactions of its individuals is an ongoing challenge in the modelling of biological phenomena. Many classical models assume that the spatial location of each individual is independent of the locations of all other individuals. This … Continue Reading ››
