Gaining predictive insights into biological systems demands integrating experimental methods with computational modeling and theoretical frameworks. Scientists in Rice University's Bioengineering Department employ techniques from molecular biophysics, biomechanics, transport phenomena and kinetics, statistical thermodynamics, nonlinear dynamics and control systems, along with data analytics, to uncover universal principles governing system-level behaviors across various spatial and temporal scales. These computational frameworks characterize diverse fundamental and clinically significant systems, ranging from molecular motors and cellular membranes to genetic circuits, microbial communities, and intricate human physiological processes.
