  • Stochastic models of biological and biochemical systems, in particular:
    • gene expression
    • signal transduction in neurons
    • cell cycle
    • tumor growth
  • Stochastic processes in theory of chemical kinetics
  • numerical methods for simulation of stochastic processes
  • object-oriented programming and its application to simulations and numerical computations
