Our newest preprint investigates the impact of electric fields on cell-cell interactions! ⚡️🦠HINT: it changes things! 😆 Read this work with @simonmape here 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @OxUniMaths @WCMBlog
Congratulations to WCMB DPhil students Yuan Yin and Luke Heirene for winning poster prizes at the #SMB2024 @SMB_MathBiology general meeting in Seoul, South Korea
Great talk by @Ari_Ceccarelli on velocity jump models #SMB2024 Read the paper 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2406.19787
Trying to decide where to go first this morning at #smb2024 and like spatial data? Come along to our minisymposium in room 107 at 10am - highly spatially correlated with the coffee stands for your convenience
It's that time of year again! No, not Christmas - I meant the @OxfordCancer annual symposium Hosted by @OxUniMaths this year, and with a huge @WCMBlog turnout too.
A fun morning of public engagement at @WCMBlog for @OxUniMaths masterclasses today - lots of fractals and Turing patterns! Plus an attempt to turn a lecture theatre full of year 9s into a differential adhesion model that worked surprisingly well (paper shows where they ended up!)
Fully funded PhD project available @OxUniMaths - developing mathematical models of Epstein-Barr virus dynamics and the subsequent onset of neurological disease (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis). For further details, see Project K under the Studentships tab at ox.ac.uk/admissions/gra…
Our new preprint: how can biological systems use multiple compartments to regulate or “smooth” behaviour when subject to a stochastic input? 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2305.09004… Joint work with @adrianne_jenner @ruth_baker @PhilipMaini @WCMBlog
It's almost as much of a cliché to say maths is not just sums & slog as to say it is. The Oxford Maths Festival doesn't care about definitions. Puzzles, games, craft & @TimHarford making sense of the world. Call it what you like. Ages 0-116. 13 & 14 May: mathsfest.web.ox.ac.uk
Some people don't like it easy. Which is a relief because there are a lot of tough problems around. Oxford Mathematician Jess Crawshaw likes things to be difficult as she explains in our latest 'Me and My Maths' film.
To all applied maths students in the UK! There will be a wonderful SIAM UKIE National Student Chapter Conference in Oxford on 1-2 June 2023 (organised and run for and by students) Register for free conference2023.oxfordsiam.com. Please RT and encourage your students to attend!
Ever wanted an interactive lightning-fast solver for models in physics, chemistry, or biology? Do you have a web browser? I'm thrilled to announce VIsualPDE.com, built explicitly to solve PDE models interactively on most devices, written by @bj_w95 @Pecnut and I.
WE'RE RETURNING FOR 2023! You are now able to book for the Oxford Maths Festival, taking place 13-14 May. It's great for families with kids aged 5-13. Take a look at our programme for this year and get yourself booked. mathsfest.web.ox.ac.uk/whats-on #Maths #Family #OxMathsFest
From everyone at the WCMB, a massive congratulations to Philip for yet another well-deserved award 👏 🏅
Oxford Mathematician Philip Maini has been awarded the IMA Gold Medal not only for profound contributions to mathematical biology & medicine, but also his mentoring of early career researchers & leadership of the mathematical biology community. @IMAmaths maths.ox.ac.uk/node/63845
Great to hear so many fantastic talks and meet so many excellent researchers at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium in Bristol. Yesterday I presented my research about the construction of travelling wave models using Lie symmetries of the Fisher KKP model.
Another postdoc position available, come and work with us on spatial data analysis - great opportunity for a mathematician who wants to be based in a bio lab @HumanGeneticsOx, but still keep close contact with the math bio world via @WCMBlog tinyurl.com/ywp7kajx
WCMB were thrilled to host @hamiscalculated for a research visit this week. It was great to hear her talk all about spatial-cumulant models and thank you and @JojoBorgqvist for letting us try so many delicacies too!
Looking forward to meeting prospective graduate students at the Open Day later today - come and say hi! 👋
