To receive updates about upcoming talks you can subscribe to our mailing list by joining the UCL Math Bio group on Outlook. This can be done by selecting “Discover Groups” on the Outlook “Home” tab and searching for “UCL Math Bio”, or by emailing Philip Pearce philip.pearce@ucl.ac.uk.

The seminar is organised by the Mathematical Biology group at UCL. We also maintain strong links with the UCL Institute for the Physics of Living Systems.
