Please address enquiries to Professor Nick Monk.
I use mathematical modelling to explore questions in the life sciences. I am particularly interested in the dynamic process of development of multicellular organisms: how do interactions between cells help to generate reliable patterns of growth and differentiation? How can mathematics help to understand these processes?
I am currently establishing a research group in mathematical biology based at AIMS Ghana, one of a network of pan-African Centres of Excellence in Mathematical Sciences. My research at AIMS is supported through the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Chair programme, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
