Overall, the group research mission is to "elucidate molecular components and mechanisms controlling the system homeostasis and its responses to genetic and environmental interventions, from cellular to organism level. In order to pursue this goal, we are applying a variety of (bio)computational and statistical approaches, along with development of metabolic and proteomic profiling methodology". Within the group, there are four core programmes:

  • Biomarker program (core research focus of the group). Goal: Development of innovative approaches to characterize biological systems, with applications in medical and biotechnology domains.
  • Biological & chemical data integration and knowledge management. Goal: Full integration of in house and public/commercial biological and chemical data relevant to biological research.
  • Modeling biological phenomena. Goal: Development of innovative approaches to modeling biological and chemical phenomena.
  • Metabolomics program. Goal: Set up state-of-the art platforms for studying a wide range of metabolites relevant to biological research.
