Computational cell biology, immunology, and soft biological materials

University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Our group investigates fundamental problems in cell biology, immunology, and biological materials using theoretical and computational methods. We study processes involving biochemical signaling networks, cell membranes, and the cytoskeleton. Some of our specific interests include antigen recognition and lymphocyte activation, motor-driven transport of organelles, stochasticity in biochemical reaction networks, and membrane biophysics.
