Bioinformatics and Computational Biophysics group at UDE

In our research, we focus on the development of computational methods, including data analysis tools and statistical and mathematical models, for understanding the dynamics and behavior of complex biological systems. We have active research projects on developing reliable tools to infer interactions of biological units, for example in microbial communities or T cell receptor repertoires. We also use different mathematical modeling approaches, including stochastic individual-based models, to study mechanisms of diversity generation and maintenance in biological communities, and multi-level models, for systems biology problems, like radio therapy-induced immune responses.
