Computational approaches are used in several research areas of the Department. In computational genomics we study how complex function is encoded in the genome. In population biology computational approaches are used for example to study the spread of disease agents in populations. In Neuroscience, computational approaches are used to model biological neurons and small pattern generating networks.

gordon.berman@emory.edu |
Our lab attempts to reveal new insights into animal behavior through developing novel theoretical and computational techniques. We have a particular emphasis on data-driven approaches, pursuing quantitative understanding into entire repertoires of behaviors and aiming to make connections to the genetics, neurobiology, and evolutionary histories that underlie them.

jacobus.deroode@emory.edu |
We study the evolution of parasites and their hosts. One of our main questions is how environmental conditions can select for more or less harmful parasites. View Profile. |

djaeger@emory.edu |
We study detailed realistic single cell models in conjunction with slice and in vivo electrophysiology to examine computational properties of cerebellar and basal ganglia networks. View Profile. |

Katia Koelle
Rollins 1015
katia.koelle@emory.edu |
We study the ecological, evolutionary, and within-host dynamics of RNA viruses. Our focus is on viruses affecting humans, particularly influenza and dengue viruses. View Profile. |

blevin@emory.edu |
We do theoretical and empirical studies of the population biology and evolution of bacteria and their accessory genetic elements and the population dynamics, evolution, and control of infectious disease. View Profile. |

ilya.nemenman@emory.edu |
My group is applying methods of theoretical physics and information theory to understand how biological systems, such as molecular circuits, entire cellular networks, single neurons, whole brains, and entire populations learn from their surrounding environment and respond to it. View Profile. |

Astrid Prinz
Rollins 2105
404-727-5191
astrid.prinz@emory.edu |
We combine experimental and computational methods to study pattern generation, synchronization, and homeostasis in small neuronal networks. Our work relies on the collaboration of researchers from diverse backgrounds, including biologists, neuroscientists, physicists, engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians. View Profile. |
