Metabolic modelling

Mathematical simulations are an important tool in biology and medicine. We use existing biochemical data to built dynamic models of metabolisms. 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.
