Welcome to the Vera-Licona Lab
At the intersection of computational systems biology, systems medicine, mathematical biology, and bioinformatics, our research lab is dedicated to developing and applying mathematical algorithms for both modeling and reprogramming of biological systems. Central to our work is the integration of multiomics data, emphasizing data-driven methodologies.
Past and current collaborative application areas include cancer research, stem cell research, immunology and biogerontology (see Research).
We are located at the Center for Quantitative Medicine, which is part of the Center for Cell Analysis & Modeling.
We are always looking for passionate students at diverse levels and Postdocs to join the team(more info)!
