Abstract
ABSTRACT Kirsty Wan is a Group Leader and Associate Professor at the Living Systems Institute in the University of Exeter, UK. She completed her undergraduate degree in mathematics at the University of Cambridge, UK, where she continued for her Master's degree, PhD and postdoctoral fellowship in biological physics, in the lab of Professor Raymond Goldstein. At Cambridge, she fell in love with the field of mathematical biology and its capacity to explain the patterns inherent in the motion and behaviour of single-celled organisms. In 2017, she established her lab at the University of Exeter, where her fascination with motile cilia and flagella has led her to explore the mechanistic origins of motility and basal cognition. We spoke with Kirsty over Zoom to learn more about her career as an interdisciplinary scientist, navigating the re-emerging interface between mathematics and biology, and the fundamental curiosity that drives her research.
