| My main interests are in deterministic modelling of embryological pattern formation and in cancer modelling. Both these areas involve processes interacting on multiple length and time scales, as cells respond to and modify external signalling cues depending on their internal dynamics, which themselves are determined by the environment. Examples of current research projects include; investigating the spatiotemporal dynamics involved in somitogenesis; determining bacterial colony behaviour from studying single cell responses to chemoattractants; analysing the effects of domain growth on the spatial patterning behaviour of a model pattern generator; studying how the nutrient heterogeneity induced by vascular networks affect tumour growth; modelling the cell cycle.
