Research

TBMG undertakes research in several aspects of theoretical biology and medicine.

Our main Current Research projects include:

We are also pursuing other lines of inquiry, and we are happy to discuss these and alternative possible projects with any researcher who contacts us.

There are also several projects that have been completed, or are currently in abeyance; see Previous Research.

Blog

April 2011: The journal is receiving an ever-increasing flood of manuscripts, some of high quality – a welcome development! On the research front, our recent paper on allometric scaling in Journal of Experimental Biology has attracted a lot of interest. At present we are working mainly on historical studies, including an examination of Lorenz Fries’s defence of Avicenna in the early 16th century, an appraisal of Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of the heart, and a review of John Hunter’s contribution to our knowledge of venous thrombosis.
