Dr Jessica Forsyth

I joined HEDS in September 2023 as a Research Associate in Statistics.

Prior to this I was an EPSRC funded Research Associate in Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester. I researched the mathematical modelling of tendon mechanics and the use of Bayesian data selection when fitting mathematical models.

I completed my PhD in Quantitative and Biophysical biology at the University of Manchester in August 2022. My PhD was funded by the Wellcome Trust and I researched the role of cell microenvironment and architecture within mammalian preimplantation. During my PhD, I developed a Bayesian approach to facilitate point registration between imaging modalities in the presence of non-matching points which cannot be identified a priori. During my PhD I used Bayesian and statistical methods, developed user-friendly analysis pipelines as well as gaining hands-on experience in the lab.
