Welcome to the web-page of the Computational Biology and Complex Systems Research group (BIOCOM-SC)
The Computational Biology and Complex systems group (BIOCOM-SC) involves researchers with a mathematical and/or physical background, from biophysics and nonlinear dynamics to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics or fluid mechanics. These different skills permit us to address increasingly complex problems in biology and other fields which, due to their inherent complexity, involve very different mechanisms. At this moment, BIOCOM-SC is the reference group in this field at the physics department at UPC. We study diverse biological processes, e.g. from molecular level (ion channel function) to cell (motion, contraction), organ (heart beating) and population level (microbial proliferation, epidemiology). For that, we use different methods and perspectives with the goal of developing clinical applications for biomedicine and environmental applications for bioengineering.Group photo during the last workshop on Computational biology and complex Systems
