The significant technological progress and the completion of many genome sequencing projects, including that of the human, have provided us with a reasonably detailed view of the cell. From this new point of view, i. e. our new knowledge of cellular networks, we have the means to understand the principles underlying the dynamic behavior of cells. However, this will require integration of theoretical and experimental approaches at a variety of levels.
My research objective is to develop computational tools and approaches for expanding the use of biological and medical data. To accomplish this, methods as well as tools and models are needed to acquire, analyze and integrate this knowledge. By formulating new hypotheses to explain observations not predicted by these models and tools, additional analysis and experiments can be carried out. We can then utilize this knowledgebase for new discoveries.
