Adelphi Genetics

The Adelphi Genetics Forum is a learned society that aims to promote research and discussion concerning the scientific understanding of human heredity.

Molecular genetics, genetic medicine, genetic epidemiology, population genetics and population dynamics, demographics, human evolution, elements of psychology, the statistical analysis of inherited traits, and the intertwined histories of genetics and eugenics are among the subjects embraced.

Heilbronn Institute for Mathematics Research

The Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research is a national centre supporting research across a range of areas of mathematics in the UK including Probability, Data Science and Computational Statistics. The Institute is run as a partnership between the UK Government Communications Headquarters and the University of Bristol. The Institute supports mathematics in the UK through Research Fellowships and sabbatical opportunities for mathematicians and data scientists, and through a range of conferences, workshops and focused research activities.

International Biometric Society

The International Biometric Society is an international society for the advancement of biological science through the development of quantitative theories and the application, development, and dissemination of effective mathematical and statistical techniques. The Society is devoted to fostering the application of statistics and mathematics in the biological sciences. Statistical methods have contributed much to scientific advance this century, particularly in genetics, agriculture, ecology and medicine.

MAGIC

MAGIC (Mathematics Access Grid Instruction and Collaboration) is a consortium that runs a wide range of PhD lecture courses in pure and applied mathematics using live web-based video technology. Currently twenty two of the UK’s top research Universities share PhD-level mathematics courses using live web-based video conferencing. MAGIC provides a mixture of live streamed and recorded lectures with assessments, allowing students to interact with course lecturers as well as to study in their own time. Students are able to interact in real time with the lecturers by asking questions and joining discussions. So far hundreds of advanced mathematics students have benefited from MAGIC courses.

PHASTAR

Phastar is a specialist biometrics contract research organization (CRO) offering statistical consulting, clinical trial reporting, data management and data science services by providing expert consultants and managing and delivering in-house projects, FSP-style arrangements and preferred partnerships.

School of Mathematics and Statistics - Sheffield

SoMaS is home to experts in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and probability and statistics. Their research helps to bring new understanding to complex, intricate mathematical structures that build the world. Sheffield’s pure mathematicians work on some of the most abstract mathematical challenges, in fields including algebraic geometry and number theory. We are an organiser of the Transpennine Topology Triangle, a key focal point for topology research in the UK. To complement our strengths in bioscience, we also have a critical mass of expertise in mathematical biology, while other researchers apply their expertise to particle astrophysics and cosmology, studying the most fundamental laws of the universe. We host the internationally renowned Solar Physics and Space Plasma Research Centre, one of the UK’s largest research groups in the field.

Probability and Statistics group - SoMaS

Sheffield has a proud tradition of research and teaching in both probability and statistics, dating back to the early 1950s under Geoffrey Jowett and Hilda Davies. In 1965 Professor Joe Gani was appointed as the first professor and head of the new Department of Probability and Statistics which separated from the Mathematics Departments.

Royal Statistical Society

The Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is one of the world’s leading organisations to promote the importance of statistics and data, and have done so since being founded in 1834. It is a professional body for all statisticians and data analysts with more than 9,000 members in the UK and across the world. The RSS organises an annual conference in the UK that attracts hundreds of participants from all over the world, the 2023 conference is in Harrogate 4-7 September and the 2024 conference will be held in Brighton.
