Episode 30 - Zan Luthey-Schulten: Whole-cell modeling, integrating biology through computation, and why honest collaborators are the best

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 30, Zan Luthey-Schulten tells us the story of her most ambitious project over the last fifteen years or so: creating whole-cell simulations. In a reminder that true science knows no boundaries, she ties together a whole range of scientific disciplines - hardware optimization, stochastic calculus, reaction rates, advanced Hamiltonians, synthetic biology, cell imaging data, to eventually approach bioengineering and medicine. Zan also shares her stories and thoughts about how to pick collaborators, how to work together, and what we computational scientists can learn both from each other and from the broader field of biology or biophysics.
