Research

Dr. Song’s research is focused on metabolic and microbiome modeling for predicting 1) interspecies interactions and complex system dynamics in environmental communities, human microbiota, and synthetic consortia, and 2) their compositional and functional shifts in response to environmental perturbations and membership changes. He employs a suite of complementary computational and modeling tools for integration, including:

  • Metabolic network reconstruction, metabolic pathway analysis, flux balance analysis, and other constraint-based approaches
  • Data-driven network inference: similarity-, regression-, and rule-based approaches
  • Agent-based modeling for simulating spatiotemporal dynamics in microbial assemblies
  • The cybernetic approach to model metabolic regulation and cell-to-cell communication
