🚨 Delighted to announce I have been awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to advance Digital Endocrinology! I will use mathematical and computational tools to bring endocrinology into the era of precision healthcare. Will soon be recruiting PDRAs and PhDs, stay tuned! www.ukri.org/news/ukri-an...

Here’s @belindombard.bsky.social explaining her poster at the 1st mathematical biology conference in Birmingham. Her work focuses on a data-driven mathematical model of the human HPA axis.

Great time meeting colleagues at the @bsneuroendo.bsky.social meeting in Bradford! Had some really good discussions about mathematical modelling in neuroendocrinology.

🚨 A bit of delayed news: I'm happy to announce we have secured an EU Marie Curie doctoral network grant 🍾 🇪🇺 Together with an European consortium of endocrinologists, engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians, we will train the next generation of innovators in digital endocrinology. (1/3)

Probably because data ≠ insight. This is why we need rigorous mathematical analysis of multimodal data in biomedicine.

Check out "The cortisol awakening response: Fact or fiction?" Interesting commentary on our CAR paper. Always pleasing when work is cited in a meaningful way :D journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Nature asked computer scientists and bioinformaticians what advice they would give to researchers who recognize the need to pick up some coding skills but don’t know where to start. Here are four key questions to help you decide. #Academicsky #Compsky 🧪

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.” A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

Elbows up, Canada.

Really exciting science from the chronobiology community in the UK clock club yesterday. Here’s Belinda with her poster on a data driven mathematical model of the HPA axis in humans @bioclocksuk.bsky.social

At Warwick university for the UK Clock Club 2025. Looking forward to hear about @bioclocksuk.bsky.social activity and showcase our work on HPA axis rhythms.

A computer contained in a thin thread of stitchable fabric could be used to record, and understand, all sorts of information about the body that devices like Apple watches can't. And it's being tested on Canadian and US soldiers right now, in the Arctic. www.newscientist.com/article/2470...

That’s a wrap up for our workshop on modelling endocrine systems. Really grateful to the students from all over Mexico for their enthusiasm and dedication, and to CIMAT, CINVESTAV Mty and ITAM for contributing to a successful event. Already planning the 2nd edition!

Day 3 of our workshop, this time talking about HPA axis rhythms and bifurcation analysis methods to understand the origin of rhythmic behaviour. So far getting great feedback from students 😀

Day 2 of our workshop on modelling endocrine systems, today focusing on metabolic models and uncertainty quantification methods.

First day of our workshop on Mathematical Modelling of Endocrine Systems at the beautiful CIMAT centre for research in mathematics in Guanajuato, Mexico. Delighted to see so much enthusiasm from students attending from all over the country. modeladomsendocrino.eventos.cimat.mx/programa_mod...

‘There is a worldwide shortage of scientists and because it’s a worldwide shortage, there’s worldwide competition,' says our Foreign Secretary Professor Alison Noble, as she warns that the UK's visa process and costs could put off scientists from moving to the UK: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Looking forward to deliver this workshop on modelling endocrine systems to maths students in Mexico. Current challenges in endocrinology need a critical mass of researchers with interdisciplinary skills! Thanks Research England (ODA) for funding. modeladomsendocrino.eventos.cimat.mx/programa_mod...

🚨 Fresh from the press! "Awakening not associated with an increased rate of cortisol secretion", where together with @tjupton.bsky.social and members of the #ULTRADIAN consortium we call for caution when using the #CAR in human studies. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Extremely pleased to announce our analysis out today with @ederzavala.bsky.social and other members of #ULTRADIAN royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10.... Bottom line: be VERY careful with cortisol measurements taken only after waking... #CAR #cortisol #circadian

Born #OnThisDay in 1780 was the polymath Mary Somerville. She was the first woman to have a paper read to and published by the Royal Society, with her paper on the relationship between light and magnetism, and she in fact inspired the coining of the word 'scientist' itself.

A high-capacity microneedle patch powered by osmotic pressure can steadily release drugs over 24 hours in animals and is well-tolerated in people, offering a more convenient and portable alternative to current #DrugDelivery systems. Learn more in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine: scim.ag/400iaaj

On my way to Bath uni to talk about modelling of endocrine rhythms. Loving the views of the English countryside!

Looking forward to talk about mathematical analysis of endocrine rhythms to the biomaths group at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social #maths4health

Okay last one, where we showed “High-resolution daily profiles of tissue adrenal steroids by portable automated collection”, which was the first ever characterisation of 24hr steroid hormones in ambulatory humans. www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... (1/4)

Small grant success! 🍾 This one is for training provision on "Mathematical modelling of endocrine systems: tools, applications and future challenges" with international partners.

Sometimes it is helpful to review how combining mathematical models with experiments can bring understanding of complex endocrine regulation. This review highlights examples from metabolism, the HPA and HPG axes. www.cell.com/trends/endoc... (1/4)

Relatable 🥲

When we talk about hormonal dynamics, it is not just about rhythms, but also about dynamic responses to stimuli. In this paper we introduce a mathematical model to explain HPA axis responses to heart surgery in humans royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.... (1/3)

Something I've always been curious about is the cross-talk interactions between endocrine systems. In 2020, we published a mathematical model exploring the links between stress and fertility by considering the HPA and HPG axes as coupled oscillators: www.frontiersin.org/journals/phy... (1/3)
