What we do
The Computational Biology Group (CoBi) develops computational models of developmental processes. We focus on the delineation of fundamental developmental mechanisms and develop data-driven mechanistic 4D in silico models of organogenesis (mouse lung, kidney, pancreas, central nervous system, Drosophila wing and eye). The group runs a wet lab to obtain image data, and collaborates with clinicians to use its techniques to personalise medicine.
