Expertise
The Centre for Plant Integrative Biology at the University of Nottingham is a systems biology research centre focussing on mathematical and computational modelling of plants.
CPIB brings together an interdisciplinary team to produce, test and refine multi-cell, multiscale models incorporating molecular networks, 3D geometry, and mechanics.
The Centre has expertise in:
-
Modelling molecular networks
-
Multiscale modelling
-
Modelling plant biomechanics
-
Bioinformatics
-
Model optimisation
-
Experimental biology
-
Plant bioengineering techniques
-
Image analysis
-
Soil science
