Professor Anita Layton named Canada 150 Research Chair in Mathematical Biology and Medicine

Professor Anita Layton has been named a Canada 150 Research Chair as part of the Government of Canada’s Canada 150 Research Chairs Program. She is the chairholder for her work in Mathematical Biology and Medicine.

A $350,000 investment per year for seven years will support Professor Layton’s research on the mathematical and computational modelling of blood flow dynamics and kidney function. Her computational methods have been adopted by others to solve mathematical equations arising in combustion, blood flow and other problems.
