Professor Timothy Newman

Timothy Newman's group employ analytic and computational tools to understand the emergent properties of biological systems at many different scales, from molecular interactions all the way to population biology. A common theme in all their work is quantifying the central role of stochasticity in living systems. Timothy's group also has a major effort in large-scale computational modelling of embryonic development.

Timothy was recruited by the University of Dundee in 2011 as Professor of Biophysics and SULSA Chair of Systems Biology. He relocated from Arizona State University where he was Professor of Physics and Director of the ASU Center for Biological Physics. His early training was in theoretical physics of non-equilibrium systems, and he has been active in biological research since 2000. Timothy is currently Editor-in-Chief of the interdisciplinary journal Physical Biology, published by the Institute of Physics.
