                    <p>I am about to start my 4th and final year of Mathematical Biology at the University of Dundee. When people ask me what I study, my response nearly always triggers questioning looks, raised eyebrows and comments such as maths and biology?...what an unusual combination!. In actual fact, mathematics has many applications in biology, for example in population dynamics or mathematical modelling of cellular processes. I am particularly interested in the modelling and simulation of tumour growth and its applications in cancer research. Getting involved in the rapidly evolving new field of synthetic biology is going to be a challenging but immensely rewarding experience and Iím very excited to be a part of the interdisciplinary Dundee team for iGEM 2011. When Iím not scribbling down equations, I enjoy climbing, hill-walking, skiing and other outdoorsy activities!</p>

Instructor

FORDYCE DAVIDSON

Instructor

Fordyce Davidson is a Reader of Applied Mathematics. His research interests lie at the interface between the analysis and applications of differential equations, with particular emphasis on applications to biological systems. He continues to work on modelling multi-scale morphology and function of microbes, including the development of fungal mycelia, swimming patterns in Oomycete zoospores and bacterial biofilm formation. He also has an ongoing interest in modelling aspects of the mammalian cell-cycle, with specific focus on the chemo-therapeutic action of small molecule Kinase inhibitors. Dr Davidson is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and is a past Vice-President of the British Mycological Society and a BMS Berkeley Award Prize winner. He currently holds an MRC Fellowship focusing on the study of cell differentiation in bacterial biofilms.
