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.

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. |

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@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. |
