Systems biology seeks to understand how the specific complexities of dynamic and nonlinear interactions between components of biological systems makes these systems work in a self-sustaining mode. Systems biology combines molecular biology and functional genomics with physical chemistry and mathematical modelling to make biosystems work (better) by aiding drug discovery and development, as well as biotechnology through living organisms. The subtle yet robust functionalities required for sustaining life are of great interest for the design of new engineering methodologies that lead to self-sustaining adjustments in a biotechnological or therapeutic context. The group achieves this through the development and application of new theories, analytical and computational approaches and quantitative experimentation. Industrial relevance of this research is strengthened via the ongoing partnerships with a number of companies, including AstraZeneca, Unilever, Novartis, and GlaxoSmithKline. Academic impact is reinforced by leading in the development and implementation of new national and international research and training initiatives.
