Stochastic Simulations for Biophysics
Image
This field is intimately connected to the experimental studies developed in the lab on immunology and on time-space correlation imaging. The first project was aimed to the characterization of the lymphocyte-lymphocyte interaction (within the European Project ENCITE). The second project, currently under development, aims at the simulation of the fluidodynamics within the blood vessels of small organisms (Zebrafish).
