The Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology & Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research (SBIDER) specialises in bringing sophisticated mathematics to challenges in biological sciences. Our research spans from the theoretical to practical policy advice, and from the genome to the population. We are a team of around 20 staff from across campus with individuals based in Maths, Stats, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine.
At the core of our research is a desire to better understand and predict the biological world.
A new objective for the optimisation of cancer chemotherapy was developed by the Burroughs lab in . They used ideas in branching processes to develop the life-expectancy payoff that averages over outcomes, such as cure and death.鈥�
