Research summary
AI-generated

William R. Holmes works in computational and mathematical neuroscience and cell biology, building mathematical and computer models to understand biological processes. His work spans how neurons transmit signals, how decisions are made (using 'evidence accumulation' models that describe how the brain gathers information before acting), and how cells organize their internal structures, including processes relevant to cancer and insulin-producing beta cells.
