CoMPLEX is UCL’s centre for interdisciplinary research in the life sciences. It brings together life and medical scientists with mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers to tackle the challenges arising from complexity in biology and medicine.


CoMPLEX Seminars


CoMPLEX runs a series of interdisciplinary research seminars throughout the year and an annual workshop in the autumn. The 2010 autumn seminar series will be announced shortly.


 

News and Publications

We are delighted to announce a new publication from a CoMPLEX student. Michel Cohen, who has been recently awarded his PhD, has published his groundbreaking work on the highly prestigious scientific journal Cell. In his paper entitled “Dynamic filopodia drive pattern refinement via intermittent N-Dl signalling”, Michael sheds some light on the organization of bristles on the Drosophila notum. To read more about his exciting research head to the News section.


Doctoral Training Centre

CoMPLEX runs a 4 year Doctoral training programme “Modelling Biological Complexity”. This is funded by major grants from the EPSRC and BHF, with additional funding from MRC, BBSRC, NERC, CRUK, SAHFOS and UCL. There are already more than 50 students in the programme.

  Opportunities for External Fellowships

CoMPLEX is seeking motivated individuals to join as Independent Research Fellows. We recognise the importance of this step in the career of a young researcher and are keen to assist individuals with their applications and their integration into UCL. We will make every effort to support you in the early stages of your fellowship application, providing assistance in developing your research project, writing the application and preparing for your interview.If you are interested in applying for an externally funded fellowship, such as those offered by the BBSRC, EPSRC, MRC and Wellcome Trust, in this research area then please see here for further details.
     
     
CoMPLEX Researchers

CoMPLEX supports the research of over 100 scientists in UCL who are drawn from 29 Departments and Institutes across UCL. We also have many links to Universities and Institutes in the London area and beyond. We are always looking for new collaborations and encourage your participation. For CoMPLEX announcements, news and details of seminars, join our mailing list. If you are interested in getting involved in our PhD programme or have queries concerning research collaboration, please send an e-mail message to the office or contact a member of the CoMPLEX Management Committee.
  Initiatives

CoMPLEX is running a major initiative in cardiovascular medicine as part of the Doctoral Training Centre, with funding from the British Heart Foundation. CoMPLEX also has close links with the new UCL Systems Biology initiative, which has been launched to coordinate and strengthen interdisciplinary systems-biology research across UCL. Vision @ UCL is a new inter-faculty network linking together individuals, groups, centres and departments that contribute to research in vision, as a biological process, as a medium and as a technology. A list of events can be found here.
