We are an interdisciplinary research lab with a broad scientific focus on quantitative and computational biology, core domain knowledge in immune repertoires and evolutionary dynamics, and technical expertise in scientific computing, machine learning, and mathematical modeling. We aim to cultivate an inclusive environment that values previous experience in experiment, computation, and theory, and supports trainees transitioning between these areas.
