Our members

Meet our academic staff.

Mathematical Biology and Healthcare research in Birmingham is strongly integrated with experimental research, medicine and healthcare.

  • The main focus of mathematical biology research in Birmingham is multiscale modelling of a variety of biological and medical systems, areas of interest including, but not limited to:

    • Mechanical effects in plant growth

    • Fluid dynamics of sperm motility, and symmetry breaking in embryonic development

    • Models of cancer and inflammation

    • The role of mechanical anisotropy in tissue formation

    • Bacterial gene regulation and its role in disease

    • Antibiotic resistance and novel drug development

    • Mathematical modelling in endocrinology and adrenal disease

    • Industrial and biomedical applications of transversely isotropic fluids
