Our Research
Biological complexity is often governed by very simple rules. At the Virtual Laboratory, we focus our scientific energy on simulating complex microbial ecosystems and identifying key principles of their evolution. These models contain many interacting players, such as genes, mobile genetic elements, microbes, and their hosts like plants and animals. These computational models are integral to understanding the complexity of nature.
