The Stochastic Biology Group, led by Iain Johnston, is a research group of scientists interested in combining mathematical and experimental approaches to learn about the biological world, and how we can interact with it to improve human lives.

We focus on processes in biology that have some element of randomness or noise (that is, most of them!). Two of our particular research foci is the evolution and subcellular control of the bioenergetic organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) that power complex life, and the evolution of drug resistance in bacteria around the world.
