Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems in order to improve the design of molecular and cell-based technologies. Instead of studying one biological component at a time, systems biologists integrate and analyze complex data from multiple experimental sources using innovative mathematical approaches. In the CIG, our SB research is led by Eberhard Voit (metabolic modeling), Peng Qiu (single-cell networks), Melissa Kemp (T-cell signaling), May Wang (medical informatics) and Manu Platt (tissue remodeling).
