Multiscale Modeling to Tackle the Complexity of Load-Bearing Organ and Tissue Regulation

Multiscale Cancer Modeling

Cancer is a complex disease process that spans multiple scales in space and time. Driven by cutting-edge mathematical and computational techniques, in silico biology provides powerful tools to investigate the mechanistic relationships of genes, cells, and tissues. It enables the creation of experimentally testable hypotheses, the integration of dat

Charney and Nestler's Neurobiology of Mental Illness

"The genetic investigation into mental illnesses has progressed rapidly since the mapping of the human genome. Driven by advances in genomic profiling technology, massive genomic datasets are powering the discovery of genetic variation associated to complex traits including mental illness. From severe neurodevelopmental disorders to schizophrenia and depression, genetic variation plays some role in risk. Critically, most mental illnesses are complex, multifactorial and the consequence of a combination of genetic and environmental influences. This chapter will introduce the genome, its variation, and the methods used to identify what variants and genes matter for mental illnesses"--
