Zuniga Lab | Computational Biotechnology Research Group
Linking the genome to phenotypes using mathematical models of individual and community systems.
We develop advanced systems biology approaches that combine both experimental and computational tools.
Systems biology and development of computational methods for the reconstruction of metabolic models:
Our lab pioneers advanced computational models for predicting and controlling phenotypes in bacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms. By focusing on organelle-specific gene annotation, we enhance the predictability of microbial systems biology. Currently, we are applying our methods to improve net-zero bioproduction in various eukaryotic microorganisms.

Why us?
Our lab explores microorganisms vital for biological water and air treatment, bioproduction, global cycles, and the health and disease of higher organisms
We develop advanced systems biology approaches, integrating experimental and computational methods to study microorganisms in isolation, their interactions with other microbes, their environment, and their hosts.
