The Isaac Newton Institute's Open for Business events are developed and delivered by the Newton Gateway to Mathematics and are specifically designed to bring together industrial, commercial and government organisations with mathematical scientists. They can be run as part of an ongoing research programme, or as an independent event.

New Approaches to Anonymisation

Monday 5th December 2016

This event was part of a week-long workshop on New Developments in Data Privacy, linked to the Isaac Newton Institute (INI) research programme on Data Linkage and Anonymisation. It highlighted new approaches to anonymisation and will bring together leading experts as well as data users and ‘data holders’ with the aim of disseminating state-of-the-art techniques and approaches from the INI research programme.

Perspectives on Data Linkage - Techniques, Challenges and Applications

Friday 16th September 2016

Data linkage is the process of identifying and linking records about the same entity across one or more databases. However, there are benefits as well as challenges associated with data linkage. For instance, enabling linkage between two or more sources of information can help maximise the value of research data, as well as adding high value to existing surveys and effectively creating new data resources.

Understanding the Mathematics and Physics of Cell Motility and Pattern Formation - Open for Business Event

Wednesday 9th December 2015

Cell motility, morphogenesis, and pattern formation are essential
features of cell dynamics. They involve biochemical processes and
biomechanical properties coupling multiscales
ranging from the intracellular level, cell surface dynamics,
cell-cell and cell-tissue interactions up to the scale of cell
population behaviour influencing organ formation and
functioning. Hence, there is a need to develop new predictive
mathematical models with the ability to handle large datasets of
biological events and process thereby providing a
powerful quantitative framework to understand these phenomena
across multiple scales.

Design of Experiments in Drug Development - Open for Business Event

Thursday 9th July 2015

One of the most important areas in drug development is the design of
experiments. The better these are, the more efficient the trials. Such
efficiencies lead to fewer patients, shorter timeframes and reduced
costs. There is therefore a need for more seamless and complex adaptive
designs in drug development and mathematical and statistical
methodologies and models are key to such improvements.

Understanding Microbial Communities - Developing the Potential - Open for Business Event

Thursday 4th December 2014

The importance of microbial communities for health, industry and the
natural environment cannot be overstated. Despite this, there is an
enormous gap between the levels of our empirical knowledge of microbial
communities' composition and experimental and theoretical understanding
of their function, structure, and dynamics. This is why the development
and advancement of combined mathematical and experimental approaches for
the study of microbial communities has a huge potential for this field.
