Biomedical Computation Group
In situ enthusiasts since 2021
Our group focuses on computational systems analyses of biological processes. We use mechanistic computational models to integrate heterogenous data into predictive models. We have a particular interest in mechanisms that promote the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance, which we study at the cellular and population level as well as across patients.
We are an interdisciplinary group led by Andrea Weiße. Our expertise ranges from biology and biochemistry to bioinformatics, mathematics and machine learning. This is why we are lucky to be located at both the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Informatics, and also to be members of the Centre for Engineering Biology.

| Sep 17, 2024 | We welcome Rodrigo to the group, who will be doing a PhD, co-supervised with Michael Gutmann on experimental design to investigate antimicrobial resistance. Glad to have you on board! |
|---|---|
| Jun 26, 2024 | Hollie and Christoph both gave talks about their work at the first ever Bacterial Machines in Action conference at Queen Mary University London. Much interest and good feedback! |
| May 23, 2024 | Hollie’s preprint on the role of RNA repair in antibiotic resistance was just released on bioRxiv. Here’s to many more! |
| May 15, 2024 | Elena gave an awesome talk at the EPCP Young Scholars group about Mechanistic Insights of Antibiotic Effect on Bacterial Physiology & Growth. |
| Apr 22, 2024 | Hollie just ran the 2024 London Marathon in an outstanding 2:55:00 h. A bit of a low-blow, I may add, for anyone else in the group still wanting to run a marathon. I’m speechless. Well done, lass! |
| Jan 25, 2024 | Christoph just had his first first-author paper published! This work on automated and standardised GMO data management helped his former group properly inventorise and document their bioparts according to German law. Check it out! |
| Jan 05, 2024 | This time, Christoph starts the new year with a trip! To expand his microfluidics skills, he will undertake a three-month industry placement with the Smart Microfluidics Group at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech). |
| Nov 14, 2023 | Hollie is at it again, talking at the Edinburgh Antimicrobial Resistance Forum about bistability in the Rtc system and how it relates to AMR - way to go! |
| Oct 03, 2023 | Hollie gave an exciting talk about her work on modelling the role of RNA repair in antibiotic tolerance at the Advanced School on Quantitative Principles in Microbial Physiology in beautiful Trieste. |
| May 24, 2023 | Christoph’s recent work on the effect of immersive motor prompts on motor imagery was published in the proceedings of the 11th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering - congratulations, Christoph! |
| Jan 01, 2023 | Hollie starts the new year with a six-month-long stay in the Buck lab at Imperial College London. She will take qPCR readings to collect gene expression data of cell populations, interrogating her modelling work. |
