Santiago Schnell Scientist

Santiago Schnell DPhil (Oxon) FRSC is a biophysical chemist and computational physiologist who holds an Associate Professorship in Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan. He is a U-M Brehm Investigator in the Brehm Center for Diabetes Research, and Research Associate Professor of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics. He is considered a leader in Mathematical Biology and Systems Biology. His methods for modeling enzyme catalyzed reactions and reactions inside cells are one of the fast moving frontiers in computational biology according to the Institute for Scientific Information.Dr. Schnell's laboratory investigates cellular physiology systems comprising many interacting components, where modeling and theory may aid in the identification of the key mechanisms underlying the behavior of the system as a whole. Their research focus on developing models for the analysis of biochemical reactions, metabolism and biophysical processes.
