Geometric biology allows us to understand the dynamics of how living things convert energy flows into mass, at all scales of biological organisation.
The size and shape (together, the ‘geometry’) of organisms ultimately determine these flows.
The Geometric Theory of Biology allows us to predict how things function, grow, and change; be they tumours, schools of fish, or whole forests.
The Centre for Geometric Biology is currently seeking to recruit an experienced theoretical biologist experienced in adaptive dynamics modelling.

Post-doctoral fellow, Giulia Ghedini, and colleagues Craig White and Dustin Marshall are interested in whether feeding rates and metabolic rates change in the same way when population densities increase.
Postdoc Martino Malerba and colleagues Craig White and Dustin Marshall investigate how size affects net-energy gain in single-celled phytoplankton species at different light intensities and population densities.

Thank you to everyone who spoke at last week’s mini-symposium here at Monash.
Chris Greening has been working with international collaborators to provide evidence that aerobic methane-oxidising bacteria (methantrophs) are able to meet energy and biomass demands in variable environments, by using hydrogen as an alternative energy source.
