Centro Ciencia & Vida is a national scientific center of excellence and home to more than 120 scientists working in three main areas: Biomedicine, Computational Biology and Microbiology. These areas have been divided into 5 clusters.
The application of computational modeling techniques has been key to unveil fundamental laws governing complex biological phenomena. This cluster relies on using advanced knowledge from biology, ecology, chemistry, sociology, mathematics & physics to develop computational models to study...

Despite the cumulative knowledge related to the mechanistic aspects of viral infection and the establishment and dynamics of microbiomes, fundamental questions about virus/microbe-host biology remain to be solved. This cluster is focused on dissecting the interactions between virus/microbe-host to...
