Systems Biology and Neuroengineering
This research thrust aims at understanding the structure and dynamics of biological networks
within cells and cells complexes that give rise to emergent properties. It also addresses questions
of information coding, representation, and processing in living systems. The research is centered on the following areas:
- Analysis and simulation of genetic and biochemical networks
- Gene regulatory and signaling pathways
- Reverse engineering of networks from microarrays
- Time encoding and information representation by sensory systems
- Spike processing and computation in the cortex
- Genetic, structural, functional, and plasticity principles of the cortical microcircuit
