Well done to James for becoming a finalist in the Smith Institute’s TakeAIM competition! He will showcase his brilliant PhD work at the competition showcase in March. Fingers crossed!

I’m pleased to be back to work after my (fifth!) maternity leave, and really excited to be starting my MRC Career Development Award, entitled ‘Mathematically modelling tuberculosis: using lung scans to map infection, and a hybrid individual-based model to simulate infection and treatment’. Its a really cool project and I’ll get to work with some amazing people over the next ~8 years! I’ll also be advertising for two Research Associates soon so watch this space 🙂
We’re really excited to be starting work tomorrow on our EPSRC funded project!! We will be building on the previous within-host SARS-CoV-2 modelling work that Chris has been doing. We hope to share some new publications on this research soon. Check out the preprint that explains the modelling framework we intend to build on: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.05.06.490883v1
Code for this model can be found on our GitHub page:

We also plan to share a more abstract version of this code that will be easily adapted to different pathogens (with SARS-CoV-2 and TB as case studies) – coming soon!!
A big welcome to Chris Rowlatt who joined the team on 1st June as a Research Fellow. Chris will be working on the CSO project to develop a COVID-19 model.
Very excited to have received funding from Chief Scientific Office (CSO) to develop a within-host mathematical model for COVID-19. See https://www.cso.scot.nhs.uk/rapid-research-in-covid-19-programme/sancovid/ for details!
