Our lab works in the emerging field of systems biology -- the intersection of high-throughput experimental biology with large-scale computational modeling to drive biological discovery. Within the context of a computational model, various data types interact in precisely defined ways such that predictions of cellular behavior can be made under novel conditions or perturbations.
Failure modes of computational models point towards gaps in understanding and lead to directed lines of questioning from which understanding of the cell's workings can be increased in a systematic fashion. Constructing and revising computational models based on data constitutes a powerful iterative model building approach that lies at the heart of systems biology.
Attention: See the Open Positions page for information about a new postdoctoral position in the lab.
