Computational Biophysics - Ando's Laboratory

Biological phenomena involve processes taking place over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, with space spanning from the atomic scale (10−10 m) to the organism scale (1 m) and time from nanoseconds (10−9 s) to years (107 s). The ultimate goal of our study is to describe these complex biological systems in terms of physics and chemistry. Computer simulation and modeling are our main tools. We analyze experimental data in a numerical way in close collaboration with experimentalists to uncover the mechanisms behind biological processes through the computer simulation and modeling. Our computational techniques are also applied to studies in nano-electronic materials for efficient and effective development of new ones.
