Abner Apsley

I received my PhD in Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Biosciences at The Pennsylvania State University in May 2025 and started as a QCB postdoctoral research in July 2025. I work with QCB Director Zaida Luthey-Schulten and Julia Mahamid, European Molecular Biology Laboratory. My research focuses on the creation and implementation of eukaryotic whole-cell models. Some of my current projects include using whole-cell modeling methods to predict gene regulatory behavior in yeast and the generation of both metabolic and signal transduction modules for human neutrophil whole-cell models. In collaboration with Dr. Mahamid, I also plans to incorporate spatial information from cryo-ET experiments into eukaryotic whole-cell models.
