Mathematical biology, analysis and prediction
Developing new theory, methods, tools and models.

Our expertise in mathematical biology includes bioinformatics, epidemiology, mathematical modelling, quantitative and population genetics.
We develop new theory, methods, tools and models. Our research includes systems biology from the molecular (transcriptomics, gene networks) to the population (epidemiology, quantitative and population genetics) level.
Our research finds applications in selective animal (and plant) breeding and in the control of infectious diseases.
