    Research interests

    Mathematical simulations are an important tool in physics and engineering, but its application to biology and medicine is still in its infancy. However, as our knowledge of the molecular basis of biological processes is progressing, mathematical modelling is increasingly used to understand the complexity of living organisms.

    We use existing biochemical data to built dynamic models of metabolisms and dynamic molecular processes. The resulting models can be used to understand the basis of diseases and guide the development of drugs. We work in close collaboration with experimental groups, which is advantageous, as model building is always an iterative process of simulation and experimental verification of model hypothesis. It furthermore guides the developement of our models and usually defines the aim of the model.
