Richard Morris is a physicist interested in investigating and quantifying the behaviour of living systems. He believes that modern biology goes hand-in-hand with theory and physics, where theoretical physics has an important role in influencing biological research.

Using the tools and principals of classical physics – including thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and statistical mechanics – Richard’s team actively engage with experiments. They tackle a wide range of biological issues spanning from how shape and form emerges in tissues autonomously, to how cells process information during cell signalling events.
