Dr. Anmar Khadra

Biography

Anmar Khadra is a Full Professor in the Department of Biological and Biomedical Engineering at McGill University. He has a broad background in mathematical computational biology and has developed a proficiency in key research areas that lie at the interface of complex systems, nonlinear stochastic dynamics, and biophysics. His research primarily focuses on the quantitative and mechanistic understanding of the underlying dynamics of physiological systems in relation to neuroscience, immunology, and cell biology. Professor Khadra collaborates with leading experimental scientists, and his research group employs multiscale complex systems computational models to study the dynamics of (sub)cellular networks, including the behaviors of neurons, immune cells, and motile cells. His work encompasses analyzing neural rhythms, characterizing neural responses, and investigating T cells activated by nanoparticles in response to diseases. His models are designed to closely adhere to the physiological properties of biological systems, bridging multiscale components to predict emergent behaviors and generate testable hypotheses. The insights drawn from his models significantly guide experimental work in new directions.
