Markus Roger Owen is an applied mathematician working in a diverse field of subjects. This has included research into macrophage-tumour interactions, neural field theories, juxtacrine intercellular signalling, the effect of predation on biological invasions, mode-locking of periodically stimulated bursting neurons, lung ventilation and rheumatoid arthritis. [2] Owen is currently a Professor in applied mathematics at the University of Nottingham's School of Mathematical Sciences. [3]
In July 2009, Owen was awarded the Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society for his contributions to the development of multiscale modelling approaches in systems medicine and biology. [4]
