The Howard group works on mechanistic mathematical models of epigenetic processes, focusing particularly on histone modification dynamics and the role of non-coding RNAs. The group uses techniques imported from theoretical physics, including mean field theories, stochastic differential equations and Monte-Carlo simulations. Our research involves a close collaboration with Epigenesys member Prof Caroline Dean to elucidate the epigenetic response of plants to prolonged winter cold. Team members:
