Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

The research in the lab focuses on the interdisciplinary synthetic biology work in the overlap between electrical engineering, mathematical modelling, and genetic biology. Examples of work include: ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

Mathematical models have become an integral part of cancer biology. They are useful tools for deriving a mechanistic understanding of dynamic processes in cancer. The somatic evolutionary process, ...

Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...
