Molecular Biology
Professor
Dr. Süel's lab is fascinated by how molecular and cellular interactions can give rise to emergent dynamics in microbial systems. In particular, their goal is to understand how dynamics at the cellular and population level improve bacterial fitness. They typically develop and utilize quantitative biology approaches to inform and constrain mathematical modeling. They use modeling to integrate across molecular, single-cell, and population-level scales to uncover fundamental principles of bacterial physiology, and more recently bacterial electrophysiology.
Bio
Dr. Süel received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics from the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center in the laboratory of Dr. Rama Ranganathan and conducted his postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Elowitz in the Department of Biology and Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology.
