Mathematical Biology

The Mathematical Biology Group at the University of 91Ö±²¥ uses a wide range of mathematical and statistical approaches to study questions in biology, medicine and ecology. Current research interests include:

  • Animal movement and biological invasions
  • Dynamics of genetic regulatory networks
  • Dynamics of infectious diseases
  • Genetic epidemiology and statistical genetics
  • Mechanisms of evolution and development
  • Pattern formation in plant and animal development
  • Statistical ecology

Environmental Dynamics

This group's research is well known in the areas of Synthetic Aperture Radar, HF Radar Remote sensing, Turbulent diffusion and Meteorology.

Some of its research is facilitated by the NERC Centre of Excellence in Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics, and the group members enjoy a wide range of research collaborations.
