For The Study of Living Machines : Simons Centre @ NCBS, Bengaluru.
We study molecules, cells, and organisms as living machines: imperfectly optimized products of natural selection which consume energy to achieve specific goals.
Our research covers a wide range of areas, from protein function, computational cell biology and evolution, and the physics of active systems, to morphology and control in animals and machines.
A successful exploration of biological questions spanning many length and timescales needs a strong two-way interaction between mathematical theories and experiments. We have very close collaborations with a number of experimental labs at NCBS and elsewhere.
