About us
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
