Biomathematics Research Centre

Research Group Summary

The Biomathematics Research Centre was set up in 1996 to promote Biomathematics and Biostatistics within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Our group of mathematicians and statisticians work with biologists on a wide spectrum of projects. Some of our group are also part of other research centres.

Current on-going research projects include:
- statistical applications in medicine and ecology
- analysis of dynamical biological processes using differential equations
- computational molecular biology and phylogenetics
