Congratulations to Bartosz Bartmanski @B_Bartmanski for submitting his thesis "Efficient methods for simulating stochastic reaction-diffusion models on evolving domains" today! Bartosz explores how predictions made using reaction-diffusion master equation models depend on various derivations and implementation parameters. You can download StoSpa2, his software for stochastic simulations on static and … Continue Reading ››

I'm looking for an excellent postdoc to work with Professor Michael Stumpf and I on an exciting collaborative project aimed at providing new approaches to connect models and quantitative data in the biosciences. A similar position is also available in Michael's group at Imperial College. The aims of the project are to develop a complementary suite … Continue Reading ››

Great to welcome two new members to the group! Rasa Giniunaite will focus on developing and applying new models of cell invasion to the problem of cranial neural crest invasion, in collaboration with Paul Kulesa at Stowers Institute for Medical Research. Maxandre Jacqueline (@MaxandreJacquel) … Continue Reading ››

Congratulations to D.Phil. student Chris Lester on being granted leave to supplicate! Chris' thesis, supervised together with @Kit_Yates_Maths, focussed on developing efficient simulation methodologies for stochastic models of biochemical reaction networks. We wish Chris all the best in his postdoctoral position with Continue Reading ››

QBIOX – Quantitative Biology in Oxford is a network aimed at bringing together diverse groups of researchers to use interdisciplinary approaches to tackle key problems in the biosciences. We have a range of activities taking place, including regular colloquia and workshops, and small amounts of funding to help support interdisciplinary activities. If you'd like to … Continue Reading ››

Recent work, carried out by Linus Schumacher (@LinusSchumacher) during his D.Phil. and EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship in my group, has recently been published in Proc. Nat. Acac. Sci. USA (see PUbMed). The research looked at how the skin develops and produces hair follicles, and proceeded by dissociating the skin into individual cells … Continue Reading ››
