CoMPLEX
CoMPLEX (Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology) is a inter-disciplinary virtual centre at University College London that seeks to bring together mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers upon the problems posed by complexity in biology and biomedicine. The centre works with 29 departments and Institutes across UCL. It has a MRes/PhD program that requires that its students also belong to at least one of these Departments/Institutes.
The centre is based in the Physics Building on the UCL main campus.
