Welcome to Computational Population Biology at UIC


Professor Tanya Y. Berger-Wolf

Computational Population Biology at UIC

Flu pandemic, political microtargeting, behavioral response to predator presence, species genetic diversity. Populations contain intricate connections that occur on time scales ranging from milliseconds to generations. At the Laboratory for Computational Population Biology, we explore the growing interface between Population Biology and Computer Science, from genetics to social interactions.
