Research
The Computational Biology Laboratory is a studio for mathematical aspects of life science. The lab applies mathematics, computation, and data science to biological questions in computational neuroscience, cell physiology, calcium signaling, quantitative pharmacology, pattern formation, and genomics.
We are life scientists and neuroscientists, and also interdisciplinary applied mathematicians. Our work uses differential equations, probability, high-performance computing, and practical data science methods to connect mechanistic models with biological function. Students in the lab work at the intersection of applied mathematics, biology, data science, and bioengineering.
Graduate students in the Computational Biology Lab are members of William & Mary’s Department of Applied Science in the School of Computing, Data Sciences & Physics.
Undergraduate researchers affiliated with the lab often major in Mathematics, Neuroscience, or CAMS Mathematical Biology. If you are an undergraduate interested in the lab, take a look at the CBL repository.
The lab is closely connected with William & Mary’s biomathematics and data science communities.
