My first paper in systems biology has been published in PRE! We investigate how local nearby bifurcations lead to synergies in critical slowing down- specifically the case of mushroom bifurcations in gene regulatory networks! journals.aps.org/pre/abstrac…
Did you think that small gene regulatory networks are only capable of very simple dynamics? Guess again! Even very simple networks are capable of a rich dynamics. Check out our brand new review paper in Current Opinion in Systems Biology: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Our special issue of Phil Trans Roy Soc A on "Biological Fluid Dynamics: Emerging Directions" is officially out now! Originating from discussions at one of our SIG meetings, this special issue has 16 research articles and reviews on all things bioactive! royalsocietypublishing.org/t…
This issue could not have been possible without all of the contributions of all authors and reviewers, and support from the @royalsociety. The SIG also originally launched as the Biologically Active Fluids Special Interest Group of the @UKFluidsNetwork #biophysics #fluidDynamics
In other news, I will be predominantly moving over to Bluesky where I have the same handle. You can find me under bsky.app/profile/mathsmaret.… !
Our new paper is out on bioarxiv. Read all about our mathematical mushroom magic and how noise can be useful for genetic timers!
🍄 More mushroom magic ! This time we show that nearby bifurcations lead to synergistically slower dynamics that are robust to noise and can be used to encode genetic timers ⏳🧬. Thanks to @JosepSardanyes @MathSMaret @FuchoMariona and the rest of the team

It's happening again!! Join us this September for the second edition of the London Mathematical Biology Conference!
📢 Save the date for the next London Mathematical Biology Conference, happening 9-10/9/24 @TheCrick. Registration opens soon with many opportunities for contributed talks and abstracts. Spread the word!

Our applied maths group will be hiring several more PDRA/Fellow positions soon in solar physics/geophysical fluids/general applied math, so keep an eye out. Below is a PDRA to work on a cool scientific computing problem in geophysical fluid dynamics.

Years of exciting computational modelling have paid off! Our paper on “The interplay between bulk flow and boundary conditions on the distribution of microswimmers in channel flow” (J. Fluid. Mech., 976, A13 DOI: doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.897) has finally been published!
Very pleased to say that I've started a postdoc in Theoretical Systems Biology at Imperial College London this week! Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

Thank you for joining us at this year's Bioactive Fluids SIG meeting! What a fantastic few days with a wonderful group of brilliant researchers
This is fantastic! Very excited to read this paper
I’m delighted to share our work @alanbrownhms on the structures of axoneme, one of the largest macromolecular machine in nature! This is really a dream coming true! Now we have an atomic view of the core of cilia skeleton. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Some of us Liverpool staff got to sing at the Eurovision village! Very proud to have been part of this wonderful event
#Live | The sun is out and so are the dance moves! Liverpool UNI-ty choir are finishing their fantastic performance with a groovy ABBA-medley. 🕺☀️
