Research Philosophy
My research focuses on developing mathematical and computational models to understand complex biological systems. I am particularly interested in the application of nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, and computational methods to study problems in neuroscience, immunology, and cell biology.
Teaching
I teach courses in mathematical biology, computational neuroscience, and advanced calculus at McGill University. My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex biological problems using mathematical tools.
Lab Mission
The Khadra Lab is dedicated to advancing our understanding of complex biological systems through mathematical modeling and computational approaches. We aim to develop novel theoretical frameworks that can be used to interpret experimental data, generate testable hypotheses, and ultimately contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for various diseases.
Research Interests
Our research spans several areas of computational and mathematical biology, including:
- Mathematical modeling of cellular and molecular processes
- Stochastic modeling of biological systems
- Computational neuroscience
- Nonlinear dynamics in biology
- Immune system modeling
- Cell signaling and gene regulatory networks
