Computational Protein Design The focus of the lab is the coupling of theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques for the study of structural biology. Before joining Caltech, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Korea University on developing macro-scale 3D imaging and digital reconstruction methods using tissue clearing technique. "Caltech faculty bring their unique experience, technologies, and innovative capacity to this complex problem," says Barbara Wold, director of the Merkin Institute and Bren Professor of Molecular Biology. Matt Thomson is an assistant professor of computational biology and Heritage Medical Research Institute Investigator, as well as an affiliated faculty member of the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech. Building on close collaborations with Caltech’s research groups in quantum information, chemistry or biology we pursue the computational theory of physical systems: what kind of computations can a quantum system, a chemical molecule, a biological cell, or an abstract social network, perform? His career began in comparative genomics, and initially was interested in genome alignment, annotation, and the determination of conserved regions using phylogenetic methods. Oral presentations will be based on selected scientific topics, with feedback from instructors and peers. To help mobilize their efforts, Caltech's Merkin Institute for Translational Research offered grants to fund projects relevant to COVID-19. (2005) Algebraic Statistics for Computational Biology. Biology. We are an integrated team of experimental and computational biologists who work together to address these questions using genomic approaches in conjunction with biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and computational biology. A Caltech faculty member, a postdoctoral scholar, or a technical staff member serves as a technical mentor for each student, to provide feedback on the content and style of the paper. Algebraic Statistics for Computational Biology Pachter, Lior and Sturmfels, Bernd , eds. The undergraduate CNS option provides a foundation in math, physics, biology and computer science to prepare students for interdisciplinary graduate studies in neuroscience and career paths that involve computational applications inspired by properties of biological systems, such as artificial intelligence and computer vision. Areas of research include biophysical mechanisms underlying information processing; experimental and modeling studies of the visual system; the circuitry, computational function, and modeling of the olfactory cortex; the theory of collective circuits for biological and machine computations; experimental studies of the circuitry and control of insect locomotor function; … Cambridge University Press , New York, NY. Major. His career began in comparative genomics, and initially was interested in genome alignment, annotation, and the determination of conserved regions using phylogenetic methods. Bren Professor of Computational Biology and Computing and Mathematical Sciences Professor Patcher is a computational biologist working in genomics. Bren Professor of Computational Biology and Computing and Mathematical Sciences Professor Patcher is a computational biologist working in genomics. Faculty and laboratories in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering and affiliated programs at Caltech provide outstanding opportunities to carry out creative and innovative work in fundamental, translational, and applied research across a … In the Gradinaru lab, Min is interested in computational approaches to reconstruct the cellular structure of cleared tissue. David Van Valen (PhD ’11) is an assistant professor of biology and biological engineering.
