Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description A novel concept for filopodial dynamics. The mathematical model has now been shown to work and publication is being prepared.
Exploitation Route I am member of a new Wellcome Trust PhD scheme of quatitative biology within the framework of which we continue to work on this problem.
