MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY

We develop multiscale, quantitative and predictive computational models of multicellular systems, together with experimental collaborators at a range of institutes in the Netherlands and abroad, including the Institute of Biology Leiden, the Leiden Academic Center for Drug Research, the Hubrecht Institute, Amsterdam Medical Center, VU University Medical Center, and the University of Pittsburgh. Our primary focus is on the mechanisms of biological growth and form, for which we develop multiscale, cell-based modeling approaches.
