Microsoft don’t just make computers. More than 1,000 Microsoft scientists and engineers work across multiple research areas in research labs worldwide, making significant product contributions and collaborating on external projects that help solve global challenges.

The Biological Computation group is conducting research to uncover fundamental principles of biological computation: what biological systems compute, and how this computation is performed. We are also developing methods for programming computation in biological systems. Their research currently focuses on fundamentals of Biological Computation, with applications in Immunology and Development, together with principles of Programming Life, with applications in DNA Computing and Synthetic Biology.
