We propose a computational approach to modeling the collective dynamics of populations of coupled heterogeneous biological oscillators. In contrast to Monte Carlo simulation, this approach utilizes generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) to represent random properties of the population, thus reducing the dynamics of ensembles of oscillators to dynamics of their (typically significantly fewer) representative gPC coefficients. Equation-Free (EF) methods are employed to efficiently evolve these gPC coefficients in time and compute their coarse-grained stationary state and/or limit cycle solutions, circumventing the derivation of explicit, closed-form evolution equations. Ensemble realizations of the oscillators and their statistics can be readily reconstructed from these gPC coefficients. We apply this methodology to the synchronization of yeast glycolytic oscillators coupled by the membrane exchange of an intracellular metabolite. The heterogeneity consists of a single random parameter, which accounts for glucose influx into a cell, with a Gaussian distribution over the population. Coarse projective integration is used to accelerate the evolution of the population statistics in time. Coarse fixed-point algorithms in conjunction with a Poincar\'e return map are used to compute oscillatory solutions for the cell population and to quantify their stability.
