Computational and mathematical modelling of physical and chemical processes in biological systems. Current Projects Computational systems biology: cell signal transduction pathways (e.g. Wnt/beta-catenin, IGF, IL-1, TNFa). Musculoskeletal systems: Cartilage, tendon, bone Epithelial Biology: cell dynamics and regulation in colonic crypts and colorectal cancer. Renal oxygenation and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

My research focuses on integrating the physical, chemical and biological processes defining biological systems. This is relevant to understanding diseases such as osteoarthritis, tendonopathy, colorectal cancer, and acute kidney injury. Primarily this integration is done through developing computational and mathematical models of these systems. However all projects involve close collaboration with experimental biologists and clinicians.
