Anita Layton is the Canada 150 Research Chair in Mathematical Biology and Medicine, and Professor of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Pharmacy and Biology at the University of Waterloo. She leads a diverse and interdisciplinary team of researchers who use computational modeling tools to better understand aspects of health and disease. Mathematics is their microscope! The Layton group collaborate with physiologists, biomedical engineers, and clinicians to formulate detailed models of cellular and organ function. Model simulations and predictions are used to answer questions such as: How should anti-hypertensive drugs be prescribed differently for men and women? Is it better to take one's medication in the morning or at night (or does it matter), given the interactions between the drug and our body's circadian rhythms?
Professor Layton is a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics (2022), winner of the Krieger-Nelson Prize (2021), and winner of Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award (2021). She is an Associate Editor of SIAM Review Book Section, an Associate Editor of SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, a Section Editor (AI/Machine Learning) of Hypertension, and an Associate Editor of Maple Transactions. Additionally, she serves as the Associate Dean, Research and International, for the Faculty of Mathematics, and chairs the Research Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Council at the University of Waterloo.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
