We work on mathematical and computational models of biological processes, with the following focus:

  • Dynamics of cancer and its treatment
  • Dynamics of virus infections and the immune system
  • General evolutionary dynamics and population dynamics

The common theme among these diverse topics is population dynamics as well as ecological and evolutionary theory. A lot of the work is biomedical in nature: we model the dynamics of cells, pathogens, and molecules. This has many practical applications such as the analysis and development of treatments against infectious diseases and cancer. We collaborate with several experimental laboratories in order to couple computational work with data.
