Kyle Wedgwood
Kyle Wedgwood is an MRC Skills Development Fellow whose research addresses fundamental questions about the collective behaviour of biological networks, with a particular focus on diabetes and neuroscience.
The aim of his research is to investigate how the individual units within biological network act in concert to perform functional tasks, for example, regulating insulin secretion from networks of pancreatic beta cells to control blood glucose levels. Dysfunction of, or disruption to, these networks ultimately leads to diabetes. Through a multidisciplinary approaching, involving electrophysiology experiments and mathematical modelling, he hopes to better understand how to 'rescue' or improve network function following these insults, in order to highlight potential avenues for diabetes treatment.

David Richards
David is an MRC Career Development Fellow whose research uses mathematical and computational modelling to try to understand processes in our immune systems. In particular he focuses on phagocytosis, the way that immune cells ingest large particles, such as bacteria, debris and dead cells. David’s work involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining spatio-temporal modelling and image analysis with micropipette experiments.
