Principles of Enzyme kinetics
We are deriving rate equations and developing standard based approaches to measure enzyme kinetic parameters.
Welcome to the Schnell Lab
We develop methods and models to obtain high-quality measurements with rigor, reproducibility, and robustness in the biomedical sciences.
Our research program is strictly theoretical; we use mathematical, computational and statistical approaches in our work. We collaborate with several experimental research groups that provide us with data or collaborate with us to use models as tools for test hypothesis.
