Research of Systems and Synthetic Biology
The Laboratory of Systems and Synthetic Biology addresses in an integrated way critical issues and novel biotechnological applications in the area Health & Food, Biobased Products and Environment. We carry out research activities broadly along four major themes: Computational Systems Biology, Semantic Systems Biology, Systems Health and Microbial Systems and Synthetic Biology.
Research themes
Computational systems biology
We use mathematical models to study genomes of microbes as well as their functioning.
Systems health
In this theme, we aim to predict disease onset, progression, and remission by analysing patient data.
Semantic systems biology
We link biological data in such a way computers can better understand, combine, and use them in life sciences.
Microbial systems and synthetic biology
We develop novel technologies of DNA modification and genome engineering to re-design microbes for biotechnological application.
Systems and Synthetic Biology
At the Systems and Synthetic Biology group, led by Maria Suarez Diez, we study the mechanisms underlying basic cellular processes, evolution and interactions among microbes and between microbes and their environment.
