Scientific Lectures
BEYOND NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF LIVING SYSTEMS
Watch on YouTube.
An exploration of organisms and their evolution which goes beyond our machine-based metaphors of genetic programmes, evolutionary optimality, and networks in systems biology. Provides a fresh and dynamic perspective on the complex intertwined processes that constitute life in all its beautiful diversity.
Lectures originally given in the context of the masters programme in Evolutionary Systems Biology at the University of Vienna between April and June 2020.

MODELLING DEVELOPMENTAL SYSTEMS
Watch on YouTube.
This mini-series of lectures is about why and how to model developmental systems.
These lectures aim to convey a basic understanding of the purpose and potential of computational and mathematical modelling in developmental biology, and to familiarise the viewer with the basic concepts required for such understanding.
I have developed and taught this mini-series over the past few years as part of the Wellcome PhD Programme in Developmental Biology at the University of Cambridge.
