Dr. Dennis Bray is an active emeritus professor at University of Cambridge. His group is also part of the Oxford Centre for Integrative Systems Biology. After a first career in Neurobiology, working on cell growth and movement, Dennis Bray moved in Cambridge to develop computational models of cell signaling, in particular in relation to bacterial chemotaxis.
On November 3, 2006, he was awarded the Microsoft European Science Award for his work on chemotaxis of E. coli. [1][2]
