As technology advances at a rapid pace, unprecedented amounts of data are being collected across&nbsp;the life sciences. However, currently very few can use this data to its maximum potential. Harnessing big data is essential to our ability to make real-time, informed decisions that lead to practical solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-90-color has-text-color\">Through interdisciplinary plant science and agriculture data analytics, the EnBiSys (<strong>En<\/strong>gineering Computational Methodologies for Multi-hierarchical&nbsp;<strong>Bi<\/strong>ological&nbsp;<strong>Sys<\/strong>tems) Lab translates research findings to real-world results through the development of targeted computational and analytical solutions for modeling and controlling biological systems. We use <strong>multiscale systems modeling<\/strong> to <strong>advance<\/strong> the comprehensive understanding of emergent properties in biological and agricultural systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
