About

Biomolecular interactions drive information processing within a cell. Typically, cells handle information processing via mechanisms such as signaling, phase separation, and transport phenomena.

At the Computational Biomodeling and Simulation Lab we aim to understand the processes behind biomolecular interactions in natural and synthetic cells.

There are many factors involved in these interactions, including external parameters such as temperature and pH, in addition to intrinsic parameters such as chemical composition and molecular structure. Computational experiments can greatly help to fill in knowledge gaps from wet lab experiments.

We use multiscale computational models and simulations that apply concepts and techniques from a variety of disciplines, such as biophysics, chemistry, math, and computer science.
