Research in Mathematical Biology
Mathematical Biology is the application of mathematical modelling to solve problems in biology and physiology. It is one of the fastest growing research areas in mathematics and is contributing significantly to our understanding of the biological world and the processes in disease. It also produces new mathematical questions.
The Mathematical Biology Group in the Department of Mathematics has eight academic members of staff. Our research interests are summarised here, but the list is not exhaustive and new projects are being started all the time. For more information and contact details, click on the links below.
The Centre for Mathematics Applied to the Life Sciences has been established to promote interdisciplinary research and scholarship in Mathematical Biology. It is a joint centre of the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, under the Synergy agreement.

Seminars
The Mathematical Biology Workshop meets weekly during lunch times and provides an informal opportunity to discuss current research for students and staff.
The Applied Mathematics Seminar is held regularly during term time, normally on Thursday's at 2pm. Each year's programme welcomes speakers from throughout the
