Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more

Modelling the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

From the human gut to deep-sea sediments, microbial communities – or microbiomes – colonize virtually every habitat on earth. These microbiomes are central to ecosystem functioning and to host health, and therefore it is essential that we understand how and why they change over time. Read more

Personalising cancer treatment with tumour evolution modelling using AI-based genomics biomarkers and PK/PD

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

Tumour heterogeneity is a major problem limiting the efficacy of targeted oncological therapies. Most advanced tumours eventually become resistant to the treatments, ultimately making the patient succumb to metastatic disease. Read more

Optimal prediction of dynamical systems with incomplete data

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

Dynamical systems describe a variety of real-life problems related to evolution over time. It is often the case that the problems are so complicated that mathematical models for them either do not exist or are not accurate enough. Read more

Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
