Mathematical Biology Group

In the Mathematical Biology group we take an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the underlying processes affecting infectious diseases of livestock. It is only through a better understanding of these processes that we can properly plan for the control of any disease. We combine state-of-the-art statistical and mathematical modelling techniques with observational and experimental studies to investigate the dynamics of infection at all scales, ranging from the cell to population level. Our models encompass both systems biology approaches and large-scale simulations. Our research complements field and experimental work at the Institute, identifying the key mechanisms that drive infection.
