Computational Modeling of Biological Systems

Computational tools enable bioengineers to gain unique insights into the complexity of biological systems, especially when closely integrating with experimentation. Leveraging the advancing computing resources available at Penn State, our department utilizes computational and numerical approaches to investigate numerous biological processes and systems, including the function of the human brain, coordinated cell activities, molecular motor dynamics, cancer progression, and the musculoskeletal system.
