LABORATORY FOR RESEARCH
IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS
We embrace complexity at the LRC
Complex Systems are at the heart of reality.
We develop rigorous quantitative models to better understand inputs, outputs, components and their relationships within complex systems.
The knowledge we gain from one system can be applied to another, allowing us to develop innovative, high-value solutions aimed at solving long-standing problems in a wide range of fields.
THE BUZZ!!
Runner up!
Our work on Thiomargarita was a runner-up for breakthrough technology of the 2022 year by Science Magazine! Woohoo!!
If you heard the buzz about our work on bacterial sizes... yes, we do talk about centimeter-long bacteria that can be seen with the naked eye... Huge congrats to Dr. Jean-Marie Volland, scientist at LRC (pun intended!) for this textbook altering discovery!
and others
(400 outlets around the world)

"Shining a spotlight on the Boundaries of Life"
Here's a great post by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, who made it possible for LRC to continue research on complex systems, about the recent surprise discovery of an unusually large bacteria, Thiomargarita magnifica.

OUR SUCCESSES!
A molecule against the SARS-Cov-2 virus developed using our automated CADDE platform; development of advanced visualization techniques combined with fluid-dynamics; and our entire portfolio of infectious disease work, supported by millions of dollars in funding from organizations like the USAID, represent the continued success of our organization and our scientists!
SCIENTIST SPOTLIGHT
In our second edition of the LRC’s team member spotlight, we are excited to feature Dr. José Jaramillo-Villegas. Dr. Jaramillo-Villegas is the LRC’s first Senior Fellow based in Colombia who will help strengthen the organization in the region. José is a 2012 Fullbright Scholar with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Read on to learn more about Dr. Jaramillo-Villegas.
WHAT'S NEW!
The first Gordon Research Conference on Collective Behavior will occur August 13-18, 2023. This five day event has a brimming program with a diverse range of speakers from institutions and organizations worldwide.
Click here to visit the GRC website for more information! Applications for this meeting must be submitted by July 16, 2023.
June 23, 2022: Congratulations to Jean-Marie Volland for his publication in Science Magazine on a very large bacteria, Ca. Thiomargarita magnifica, which was discovered in the mangroves of Guadeloupe. This bacteria is so large compared to most other bacteria that “it would be like a human encountering another human as tall as Mount Everest.” - Jean-Marie Volland
