As a mathematical biologist, Paul Roberts uses mathematical models to explain and predict the behaviour of biological and physiological systems, with the ultimate aim of delivering translational changes in healthcare. He develops both continuous deterministic (ordinary and partial differential equation) and discrete stochastic models, using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques in their solution and analysis. In addition to performing his own experiments, Paul’s work is conducted in close collaboration with experimental biologists, biomedical scientists and clinicians.
