Funding and Support
Support for research, training, and computation
The Contessoto Lab gratefully acknowledges the institutional, research, computing, and funding support that makes our work possible.
Our research is based at Rice University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and is connected to the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics. This environment supports our work at the interface of theoretical biological physics, polymer physics, genome architecture, molecular simulations, statistical inference, and machine learning.
We also acknowledge external funding agencies, research programs, and computational resources that support current and future lab projects.
