Aspects of my current research will be reviewed. In terms of reaction diffusion equations, I will review current work on cancer modelling and biological pattern formation. I will then proceed to consider biological applications of low Reynolds number fluid dynamics with respect to cilia-induced flows in the lung and human spermatozoa dynamics.
