The Computational Biomolecular Engineering Lab, directed by Michael Schnieders, is focused on molecular biophysics theory and high-performance computational algorithms that are needed to reduce the time and cost of engineering drugs and organic biomaterials. A complementary goal is to help open the door to personalized medicine by developing tools to map genetic information onto molecular phenotypes.
