Short bio

Professor Chaplain’s main area of current research is multiscale mathematical modelling of cancer growth and treatment. He has developed a variety of original mathematical models for all the main phases of solid tumour growth (avascular, tumour-induced angiogenesis, vascular, invasion, metastasis). Recently he has developed novel multiscale models of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment of cancer, spatio-temporal models of intracellular signalling pathways and a modelling framework for the metastatic spread of cancer. He currently holds the Gregory Chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of St Andrews.
