Integrative Systems Biology

I am an intern in the Integrative Systems Biology (ISB) group at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT), supervised by Prof. Gunnar Cedersund, with co-supervision from Prof. William Lytton, MD at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. My work focuses on pharmacokinetic modeling in Parkinson’s disease, where I develop predictive models using Python, SUND, and NetPyNE. I hold a BSc in Biomedicine and combine my background in biomedical sciences with quantitative approaches in neuroscience, mathematics, and statistics to better understand disease mechanisms through computational modeling.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with a broad range of possible symptoms, including nephritis, arthritis and skin rash. Standard therapies such as immunosuppressives have limited efficiency and often cause serious side effects, highlighting the need for new specialized strategies.
