Subject
Systems Theory in Systems Biology
My research focuses on the modeling and analysis of intracellular regulation processes. The ultimate goal is the development and application of mathematical methods to facilitate a better systemic understanding of these processes for particular subsystems and the organization of molecular regulation mechanisms in general. My group works in close collaboration with partners from molecular and cellular biology. I focus in particular on the following topics:
- Dynamic modeling of intracellular regulation processes and their relation to phenotypes
- Statistical sampling-based approaches for parameter estimation and predictions
- Analysis methods for intracellular regulation networks based on their network topology
I am a member of the Excellence Cluster 'Data-integrated Simulation Science (EXC 2075)', the Research Unit 'Quantifying Liver Perfusion - Function relationship in Complex Researction - A Systems Medicine Approach (QuaLiPerF)' and the 'Stuttgart Research Center Systems Biology (SRCSB)'.
