About Me

We are interested in understanding biological systems through the formulation, simulation and analysis of mechanism-based mathematical models. We currently work on (i) transcription, translation and its regulation, including during the formation of memory; (ii) keratinocyte-melanocyte-immune system interactions including during melanogenesis; (iii) formulating models and frameworks for quantitative systems pharmacology studies; and (iv) the implications of stochasticity on biological system design and function
