POSITION Lecturer/Assistant Prof in Computational Biology at the University of Ulster.

RESEARCH My research focusses principally on cholesterol metabolism and its role in cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. I have also studied its role in innate immunity and infection. In addition, I have worked on areas of personalised and stratified medicine for cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

I am a mathematical modeller concerned primarily with applications in biology,

With a background in the statistical mechanics of disordered systems, my research focusses on the interface between statistical physics and molecular biology. At the centre is the relationship between fluctuations and noise in biological systems, the corresponding statistical ensembles, and biological function. This connection emerges at very different levels and timescales, from stochastic modeling of gene expression to the population dynamics of regulatory DNA.

I am a phd student working on statistical physics and complex systems and applying concepts from these fields to biology.
