Research Theme

Systems and Computational Neuroscience

The Cambridge Neuroscience Community

Interests

I am interested in modeling multiscale phenomena and biological networks dynamics, developing statistical methods for the integration sequence, proteomics and microarray data analysis.

I am currently modeling biological processes on networks; modeling stem cells; developing transcription and phylogenetic applications on a grid environment. I am also interested in bio-inspired design of wireless networks; epidemiological networks.
