Natural computing is an interdisciplinary field that draws inspiration from natural phenomena—including biological, chemical, and physical processes—to develop innovative computational paradigms and solve complex problems. At VRAIN, we specialize in membrane computing, a bio-inspired computational model that mimics the structure and functioning of biological cells.

Our research in this area focuses on developing computational models for biological systems, creating digital twins of bioprocesses and biosequences, and building advanced tools for genomic information management and analysis. We have developed the Delfos Platform, an information system for managing relevant genomic variations that integrates data from multiple sources through a conceptual model of the human genome (Human Genome Conceptual Schema), enabling researchers to establish clear genotype-phenotype associations for precision medicine applications. These systems enable researchers to model complex biological phenomena, simulate cellular processes, and analyze genetic variations.

By bridging computer science and life sciences, our natural computing research contributes to understanding biological complexity and developing computational tools that support breakthroughs in healthcare, genetics, and bioengineering.
