Background
A computational cell biologist, I use computer and mathematical models to study intracellular dynamics; in particular: the intracellular biochemical networks at work in synaptic plasticity and its modulation, especially by astrocytes. The influence of space and molecular crowding in cell signaling and biochemistry.
