The Systems Cytometry group is a cross-discipline team applying systems engineering principles in the quantitative study of cell biology and cell based medicine. We seek to bring a unified approach viewing the biology, the technology platform and the data analysis as inter-linked, dependent elements of the measurement process. The study of cell heterogeneity and population wide properties is an underlying theme to all of our work.
Our research covers:
- nanomedicine and nanoparticle-cell interactions
- automated cell imaging and analysis using nanoparticle reporters
- modelling of dose-response in therapeutics and toxicology
- stochastic computer simulation of cell populations
