Structural
Computational Neurobiology & Neuroanatomy
Mapping the brain's architecture, from vessels to networks.

Overview
Computational Neurobiology & Neuroanatomy applies the lab's quantitative methods to the fundamental structure and biology of the brain. Here the focus shifts from diagnosis and surgery to understanding: how the brain is built, how its architecture varies, and how structural and molecular changes underlie disease. Our work includes computational neuroanatomy and the analysis of microvascular networks, often through the lens of fractal and geometric complexity, as well as collaborations that reach into molecular and cellular biology, from tumour modelling to protein interactions and tissue engineering. By quantifying the brain's form across scales, we build the structural foundation on which functional and clinical interpretation rests. This domain is deliberately collaborative and cross-disciplinary, connecting the lab's computational strengths with experimental neurobiology at Macquarie University and partner institutions.
