The Department of Computational Biology (CB) does research on mathematical modelling of biological systems and on developing algorithms and software for simulating biological functions and analysing biological data. We are also actively involved in joint projects with experimental biologists.

The main research areas of CB are:

• Computational Neuroscience (vision, olfaction, motor control, memory, cell modelling)
• Neuroinformatics (exploring the brain and the nerve system with computer science tools)
• Biological Physics (mechanisms of gene regulation, non-coding RNA, physics of small systems)
• Bioinformatics (comparative genomics, modelling evolution, gene regulation, modelling cancer progression, mRNA editing)

CB is involved in:

• HBP - Human Brain Project
• SBI - Stockholm Brain Institute
• INCF - International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility
• KTH ACCESS Linnaeus Centre
• SBC - Stockholm Bioinformatics Centre

Current events

• NEW!   HBP won the European Commission’s Future Emerging Technologies Flagship Award.
• International conference CNS*2011 on Computational Neuroscience in Stockholm, July 23-28, 2011.
