Our approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Plaisier lab uses omics-level snapshots of complex biological systems to inform computational models that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • explore the state space of biological systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • discover mechanistic interactions driving the changes in biological states (e.g. health and disease)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • predict interventions that push the system from disease states towards healthy states<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We focus on developing and applying synergistic experimental and computational approaches that build predictive models derived from single cells, whole heterogeneous tissues, and patient clinical data. These predictive models are then used to gain insights into the underlying biology and identify the best possible interventions to achieve the desired biological state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
