TSFR supports researchers interested in Systems Biology through computational tools and modeling expertise, with particular attention to the following activities:
- System
Structure Identification: both the topological relationship ofthe network
of components as well as parameters for each relation need to be
identified
- System
Behavior Analysis: Such an analysis not only reveals system-level
characteristics, but also provides important insights for medical
treatments by discovering cell response to certain chemicals so that the
effects can be maximized while lowering possible side effects
- System
Control: In order to apply the insights obtained by system structure and
behavior understanding, research into establishing a method to control the
state of biological systems is needed.
- System Design: Ultimately, we would like
to establish technologies that allow us to design biological systems with
the aim of understand mechanism of
interaction.
