Kevin Thurley studied biophysics and applied mathematics at Humboldt University Berlin, followed by doctoral research in Berlin and Cambridge. In postdoctoral work at Charite Berlin and UC San Francisco, he combined mathematical modeling and quantitative data analysis in the context of circadian rhythms, cell motility and cell-cell-communication. In 2017, he returned to Berlin to start his own research group at German Rheumatism Research Center, and in 2021, the Thurley group joined the Mathematics in the Life Sciences initiative in Bonn. In his spare time, Kevin enjoys hiking, cooking, dining, and classical music.
