16 May 2012 - Prof. Anne Warner

Professor Anne Warner FRS, Emeritus Professor of Developmental Biology and CoMPLEX Research Strategy Director sadly passed away at UCH on Wednesday 16th May. She was a real pioneer in computational physiology and a driving force in setting up CoMPLEX and in its continuing success. She has been described as quite a force of nature by her colleagues; through her personality as well as her intellect. The passion she held and drew from others in her aim to answer the questions of her science was inspirational. She will be greatly missed by all the CoMPLEX community and those who knew and worked with her across UCL. Professor Anthony Finklestein, Dean of Engineering Sciences shares his own thoughts on Anne: http://prof.so

14 May 2012 - MRC Bid successful

CoMPLEX has been successful in the MRC Advanced Course Masters Competition. We have been awarded the maximum number of 12 MRes studentships over three years. The new MRC Doctoral Training Grant will start in October 2012.

With additional funding available for progression to PhD, MRC students can complete a full four-year MRes/PhD programme within CoMPLEX if they wish. A wide range of interdisciplinary medically related projects will be available to these students, including a variety of options in medical Imaging.

4 May 2012 - EPSRC Funding

We are grateful to the EPSRC for the additional CoMPLEX funding that will further extend our Doctoral Training Centre. A cohort of 8 students will be starting with us in October 2013 and CoMPLEX will then be in line with the funding cycle of the other EPSRC Doctoral Training Centres that commenced one year later.

CoMPLEX PhD Student Zena Hadjivasiliou has recently published an article in the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The work describes recent studies of the transfer of genetic material between the mitochondria and the nucleus and its effect upon the origin of the two sexes in the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
