Purpose

To provide a quantitative understanding of cellular processes within a micro-organism and to develop a mathematical model facilitating computer simulation of biological experiments.

Key aims

In addition to the interdisciplinary research approach on the basis of work-sharing, which is an absolute must for systems biology, European integration in systems biology is also to be promoted and enhanced by the collaboration of European working groups
To support transfer of research results from science into application and commercial exploitation
To strengthen the existing good scientific collaboration between the countries involved

Outputs
