Biofluidics
The Biofluidics group of MeBioS develops methods and computational models that allow better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer in biological systems. Within the supra-disciplinary field of bionanotechnology, the long term goal of the research is to contribute to the development of in silico models of complete living systems on all scales of complexicity (cell organels to organisms), so-called "virtual life". A multiscale modeling approach is followed.
The biofluidics group is headed by Prof. Bart Nicolaï

Applied Research
Applications cover a broad range of sectors related to the agrofood production chain and quality of life: production systems, postharvest technology, refrigeration technology, food processing, food chain quality and safety, environmental impacts and health.
Research Topics
Biofluidics research topics are dedicated to the development of mathematical models to describe transport phenomena in biological systems at a range of spatial scales. Currently, four fundamental research topics in biofluidics are explored:
Flemish-Primitives
Find out how MeBios Biofluidics Group is closely working with members of the Flemish Primitives group of top Chefs.
Technology Transfer
Through the platform CADcracker, we provide solutions for design and optimization of agrofood applications.
