Collaboration
There are generally two types of collaboration in which we engage.
The first is with experimental laboratories and industry that is generated
data and asking questions about specific biosystems that interest us.
Without this collaboration it would be exceedingly difficult to do our
work. Modeling must ultimately be very data driven if theories are to
be proved and models validated. The need for this collaboration drives
the creation of collaboratory tools that facilitate communication among
the biologists, engineers, chemists and mathematicians that are working
in and with the lab. It is a central goal of this laboratory to be strongly
integrated with experimental laboratories at all times and to participate
in the experimentation.
The second type of collaboration is with math/theory/computational
types that have more specialized expertise that we have in the lab about
particular analytical, physical or numerical problems. For example,
we collaborate with computer scientists and applied mathematicians in
order to design a modeling languages, compilers and numerical code sufficient
for simulating hybrid, multiresolution models of, for example, B-Cell
chemotaxis.
Thus we are always looking for people to join the laboratory who span
two or more of these disciplines.
For specific collaborative projects check the Research
pages and the public descriptions under the Group
pages.
