The Web Lab concept was invented by Gary Mirams and Jonathan Cooper.

Gary Mirams is a mathematical modeller who started working on cardiac electrophysiology in 2009; and has been trying to work out how best to select, re-use and refine/develop cardiac models since then. He has written a few blog entries about the motivation for this website.

Jonathan Cooper is interested in using software engineering and computer science techniques to improve the lives of research scientists. Much of his work has revolved around the development and use of "domain specific languages" for describing and working with models of biological systems.

Michael Clerx is interested in the mechanisms underlying cardiac (cellular) electrophysiology and how the interaction of dynamic processes at different scales (gene, ion channel, cell, tissue) gives rise to organised behaviour at the level of the heart. Now that the degree of variability in cardiac physiology is becoming ever clearer, he wants to know how to measure it, what methods are needed to analyse such variable data, and how to incorporate it into models and simulations.
