APERIODIC (2024)
Exhibition / Performance
APERIODIC was a festival of art, science, music and performance which took place in Bristol. The theme was the mathematics and science of ‘aperiodic order’: the absence of regular or repetitive patterns.
Or, more simply, ‘things that almost repeat,... Read More about APERIODIC.
Computational modelling of dynamic cAMP responses to GPCR agonists for exploration of GLP-1R ligand effects in pancreatic β-cells and neurons (2024)
Journal Article
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which plays important physiological roles in insulin release and promoting fullness. GLP-1R agonists initiate cellular responses by cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway...

Machine learning models in trusted research environments - Understanding operational risks (2023)
Journal Article
IntroductionTrusted research environments (TREs) provide secure access to very sensitive data for research. All TREs operate manual checks on outputs to ensure there is no residual disclosure risk. Machine learning (ML) models require very large amou... Read More about Machine learning models in trusted research environments - Understanding operational risks.
NanoBiT‐ and NanoBiT/BRET‐based assays allow the analysis of binding kinetics of Wnt‐3a to endogenous Frizzled 7 in a colorectal cancer model (2023)
Journal Article
Background and Purpose: Wnt binding to Frizzleds (FZD) is a crucial step that leads to the initiation of signalling cascades governing multiple processes during embryonic development, stem cell regulation and adult tissue homeostasis. Recent efforts... Read More about NanoBiT‐ and NanoBiT/BRET‐based assays allow the analysis of binding kinetics of Wnt‐3a to endogenous Frizzled 7 in a colorectal cancer model.
Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions (2023)
Journal Article
Students may arrive at an incorrect answer when answering a mathematical question due to several reasons, such as random errors, calculation errors or misreading the question. Such errors are sometimes referred to as Common Student Errors (CSEs). Thi...

Solvability of superlinear fractional parabolic equations (2022)
Journal Article
We study necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the existence of local-in-time solutions of the Cauchy problem for superlinear fractional parabolic equations. Our conditions are sharp and clarify the relationship between the solvability o... Read More about Solvability of superlinear fractional parabolic equations.
Experimental validation of computerised models of clustering of platelet glycoprotein receptors that signal via tandem SH2 domain proteins (2022)
Journal Article
The clustering of platelet glycoprotein receptors with cytosolic YxxL and YxxM motifs, including GPVI, CLEC-2 and PEAR1, triggers activation via phosphorylation of the conserved tyrosine residues and recruitment of the tandem SH2 (Src homology 2) dom...

The nonequilibrium potential today: A short review (2022)
Journal Article
A brief review is made of the birth and evolution of the “nonequilibrium potential” (NEP) concept. As if providing a landscape for qualitative reasoning were not helpful enough, the NEP adds a quantitative dimension to the qualitative theory of diffe...

Insights into the dynamics of ligand-induced dimerisation via mathematical modelling and analysis (2022)
Journal Article
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor (VEGFR) system plays a role in cancer and many other diseases. It is widely accepted that VEGFR receptors dimerise in response to VEGF binding. However, analysis of these mechanisms and their imp... Read More about Insights into the dynamics of ligand-induced dimerisation via mathematical modelling and analysis.
Automatic Checking of Research Outputs (ACRO): A tool for dynamic disclosure checks (2021)
Journal Article
This paper discusses the issues surrounding the creation of an automatic tool to reduce the burden of output checking in research environments. It describes ACRO (Automatic Checking of Research Outputs), a Stata tool written as a proof-of-concept, an...

Statistical disclosure controls for machine learning models (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are trained on large datasets. Where the training data is sensitive, the data holders need to consider risks posed by access to the training data and risks posed by the models that are released. The first problem c...

A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations (2020)
Journal Article
We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive...

Analyzing kinetic signaling data for G-protein-coupled receptors (2020)
Journal Article
In classical pharmacology, bioassay data are fit to general equations (e.g. the dose response equation) to determine empirical drug parameters (e.g. EC50 and Emax), which are then used to calculate chemical parameters such as affinity and efficacy.
