background | publications

My primary role within CPIB was to develop mathematical models of hormone perception. This involved interacting closely with experimentalists (in particular Tara Holman, Benjamin Péret and Susana Úbeda-Tomás) to integrate their latest results into my models, and suggest novel experiments that validated my predictions. I also interacted with other mathematicians (Leah Band and Rosemary Dyson) to integrate my models into theirs, and with statisticians and computer scientists (Kim Kenobi, Claudio Lima and Jianyong Sun) to fit my models to the data generated in the lab. I also co-supervised PhD student Nathan Mellor (who is looking at Lax3 regulation) and summer student Fred Hoffman (who was looking at stochastic effects on the Aux/IAA negative feedback loop).

Alistair left CPIB in April 2010, and is currently working at the University of Heidelberg.
