style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">The goal of the project is to
develop and implement computer methods for computational modelling of
biological systems. This encompasses methods for computational model
assembly,
execution, analysis and parameter estimation. This means collaboration
with
several experimental groups which work among others on metabolism in
micro-organisms, animals and humans, on plant biology, nutrition and
disease
processes such as cancer. We also interact with the mathematical
modelling
group of the Netherlands Institute for Systems Biology. In this way
this
project is part of the core activity in Dutch systems biology. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Standaard" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">The project focuses on
developing and implementing computational methods generically useful
for
computational modelling of biological systems. This encompasses
computational
model assembly, modification, maintenance, execution, simulation,
optimisation,
parameter estimation etc. Parameter sensitivity spectrum analysis,
ensemble
simulation, model-based data analysis techniques, multiscale modelling,
‘e-BioScience’ approaches and data assimilation methods may be part of
the
project. Demonstration of the effectiveness of developed methods by
application
to modelling of some of the example biological systems is desirable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Standaard" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">This Systems Bioinformatics
project is funded by The Netherlands Consortium for Systems Biology
(NCSB) and
in total involves six Dutch bioinformatics centres. In addition, the
Systems
Bioinformatics group is part of the BioAssist programme of the
Netherlands
Bioinformatics Centre. The VU group coordinates the six centres
involved in the
Systems Bioinformatics project. The Postdoc plays an active role in
coordination
of the project with the bioinformatic and experimental partners. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
