Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Cornell University
A year on from our inaugural State of the Lab post, the lab is revving up and getting ready to go. Now it’s time to do some research!

A study I regularly circle back 2 from Dr. Pablo Cardenas-Ramirez, PI of @mseelab.org. Just now making use of the amazing computational tool (Opqua) that it introduces.

With it, 1 can model fitness landscape scale ?s (e.g. valley crossing) @ the host-parasite scale

Genomic epidemiological models describe pathogen evolution across fitness valleys
A software tool creates flexible epidemiological simulations of evolving pathogens and shows how competition limits evolution.

Distilled from ≈100 hours of exit interviews and 1-1 coaching of PhD students, Pablo shares thoughts on the structure of a PhD in STEM and how students, advisors, and program directors can bring out the best of the experience.

Where does the idea of a PhD come from? What from its history can we return to as we attempt to define or redefine it?

Notes from Pablo on the MsEE Lab substack as graduate school admissions season rolls along.

The Multiscale Evolutionary Engineering Laboratory will open its doors in the summer of 2026 at the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering in Cornell University, led by @pcr-guy.bsky.social. We will make frameworks for quantifying evolutionary outcomes in bioengineering. 1/3
