Philip Maini had sailed to London on the ship Maloja of the Peninsula and Orient Steam Navigation Company arriving there on 18 February 1954.

Philip Maini became director of the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology in 1998, then Statutory Professor in Mathematical Biology and professorial fellow of St John's College, Oxford in 2005.

Philip Maini's research includes mathematical modelling of tumours, wound healing and embryonic pattern formation, and the theoretical analysis of these models.

Philip Maini's research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

From 2002 to 2015 Philip Maini was the editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology and has served on the editorial boards of many other journals.

Philip Maini was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2015.

Philip Maini has generalised the concept of gradient information and has proposed an experimentally consistent resolution of the chemotactic wave paradox.

Philip Maini has developed multiscale models for wound healing and for vascular tumour growth.

Philip Maini has thereby elucidated the underlying mechanisms by which particular growth factors reduce scar formation and has provided detailed insight into the design of combination cancer therapy.

Philip Maini was an elected member of the boards of the Society for Mathematical Biology and the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology.

Philip Maini is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the Royal Society of Biology, and is a corresponding member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences.

Philip Maini co-authored a 1997 Bellman Prize-winning paper and received a Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship and Wolfson Research Merit Award, and the London Mathematical Society Naylor Prize.
