Nick Monk
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation German Research Chair at AIMS Ghana
Professor of Mathematical Biology at the University of Sheffield and the University of Ghana.
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?
Ghana-Bonn Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology
We are excited to announce the launch of our new online seminar series, the Ghana-Bonn Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology. This initiative is a collaborative effort between AIMS Ghana and the University of Bonn in Germany, following the success of two previous in-person symposia (one on Bonn and one in Accra).
The series aims to bring together researchers and students from the global mathematical biology community, providing a platform for sharing diverse perspectives and engaging in a broad range of topics in this dynamic field.
The seminars will take place once a month, typically on Fridays from 16:00 to 17:00 CET. We are delighted to confirm that the first seminar will be held on the 6th December at 16:00 CET, with Professor Nick Monk, the German Chair in Mathematics and its Applications at AIMS Ghana and a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield, as our first speaker.
We warmly welcome your participation, whether as a speaker, attendee, or active contributor to our discussions.
If you are interested in attending, please subscribe to the mailing list for this series by sending an email with “subscribe Ghana-Bonn Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology” in the message body to Nissrin.Alachkar@ukbonn.de.
Workshop on Mathematical Biology: 29–30 August 2024
The Mathematical Biology group at the AIMS Ghana Research Center invites you to an upcoming workshop featuring experts in developmental biology, immunology and epidemiology. The workshop will highlight a range of projects using mathematical modelling to explore biological problems, providing a platform for postgraduate students and mathematical biologists to share ideas and insights. For further details see here.
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.
