Subject: MSc in Mathematical Medicine and Biology, University of Nottingham
The MSc in Mathematical Medicine and Biology at the University of Nottingham
is open for applications to start in September 2017.
The MSc in Mathematical Medicine and Biology prepares students to pursue
successful careers in either academia or industry. As such, it provides an
excellent first step towards embarking on a PhD in Mathematical Biology or
towards working for companies in areas like drug development, healthcare, or
sustainable agriculture.
The programme provides training in advanced mathematical techniques including
partial differential equations and stochastic processes. Moreover, it exposes
students to a broad variety of biological and medical applications, ranging
from subcellular processes such as gene regulation to organ-level dynamics.
In particular the MSc offers practical experience in modelling dynamics in
neuroscience, cardiac dynamics, cancer, inflammation and plants. Overall the
MSc in Mathematical Medicine and Biology is an interdisciplinary postgraduate
degree that combines exciting mathematical research areas with a wide range of
practically relevant biological and medical questions.
The programme currently offers 5 taught modules, which is followed by a
dissertation. During the taught portion of the course students are introduced
to key modelling concepts and numerical approaches in Mathematical Biology. In
addition, advanced mathematical techniques are covered that allow students to
successfully engage with today's challenges in biology and medicine. The
dissertation provides students with an exciting opportunity to study a
specific topic in more detail. Here, the wide range of interests and expertise
within the research group of Mathematical Medicine and Biology at the
University of Nottingham give students a great experience with hands-on
research.

A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available on the epigenetics of
the brain tumour glioblastoma. The project is a close collaboration with
experimentalists and is led by PI Prof Silvia Marino at the Blizard Institute.
The appointee will work with a wide variety of next generation sequencing
data, applying existing statistical approaches and developing new integrative
analysis methods to gain insight into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying
this aggressive disease. Option to gain experience of experimental techniques
if desired, but not necessary.
