The main objective of DLab is to produce multiscale computational models to explain complex biological phenomena. To do so, we use tools coming from mathematical modeling and high performance computing (HPC). At the microscale (atomic), we use molecular modeling and molecular simulations to understand the fundamental properties that govern biological processes such as intercellular communication, membrane transport and molecular recognition. At the meso and macroscale, we use rule-based modeling and network topology to produce  and characterize stochastic simulations of cell signaling, gene regulation and infectious diseases.
