Systems and synthetic biology
Systems biology aims to understand the properties and behaviour of biological systems from knowledge of the constituent parts and their interactions.
Synthetic biology aims to manipulate cellular phenotypes with predictable biological outcomes through rational design.

Cell Systems and Mechanobiology Lab
We uncover the inner workings of living cells by creating in-silico models of cell structure, its mechanics and biochemical processes that drive cell function. Our research has led to fundamental discoveries related to heart disease, cancer and blood and vascular diseases.

Systems Lab
We use neuroimaging techniques to conduct research into the human brain in health and mental illness. We develop advanced computational models and tools to study brain networks and systems, and apply the knowledge gained from these studies to develop improved brain stimulation and other therapies.
