The Computational Biology Group engages in theoretical and applied, interdisciplinary and practise-based research at the interface between computer science, mathematics and the biomedical sciences. Our research focuses on applying computer science and mathematical techniques to clinically and biologically pressing problems. Key applications include physiological modelling (heart, cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems, soft tissue mechanics and cancer), biological image and signal analysis, and systems biology. Work is almost entirely done jointly with domain specialists in life sciences and clinical departments. The Computational Biology Group also plays a key role in interdisciplinary initiatives across the University, including the Life Sciences Interface and Systeme Biology DTCs, the BBSRC/EPSRC-funded Centre for Integrative Systems Biology, and the EU FP7 projects euHeart and PreDiCT.
