Helen Byrne is a leader in the field of Mathematical Biology. Prior to being appointed Professor at the University of Oxford in 2011, she was a Professor at the University of Nottingham, where she directed the Centre For Mathematical Medicine and Biology. Her work is concerned with building mathematical and computational models for the growth of tumours and wound healing. Her work has been recognized with by a Leah Edelstein-Keshet Prize from the Society for Mathematical Biology, and subsequently she became a Fellow of the Society for Mathematical Biology.

Immune cell infiltration in solid tumours was once regarded as clear evidence of the body’s attempt to eradicate a malignant threat. It is, however, now well established that tumours can co-opt immune cells, reprogramming them from tumour-suppressive...

The past twenty-five years have heralded an unparalleled increase in understanding of cancer. At the same time, mathematical modelling has emerged as a natural tool for unravelling the complex processes that contribute to the initiation and...
