Research interests
Researchers working at the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology are interested in the development and utilisation of mathematical and computational techniques for the exploration of biological systems. Collectively, our aim is to further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying biological processes by building biologically realistic mathematical / computational models, testing and refining them using currently available experimental data, and making experimentally verifiable predictions. Most of our projects involve collaboration with both theoretical and experimental researchers working in Oxford, the UK and further afield.
The case studies linked below show some examples of the research taking place in the group.
-
Optimal transport, trajectory inference, and lineage tracing
-
The Tumour Collective – How co-operation may drive malignant tumours
-
Mechanistic models versus machine learning: a fight worth fighting for the biological community?
-
Following up Turing - how reaction-diffusion models generate complex patterns
