The research at the CSB UoI focuses on 1) human metabolism and 2) industrial biotechnology. The Center is an interdisciplinary center with the Schools of Medicine, Engineering and Natural Sciences participating.

The CSB UoI aims to characterize human disease using a systems biology approach. This research effort includes on 1) expanding the currently available human metabolic reconstruction, 2) discovery of new functions and pathways in human metabolism using computational and experimental techniques, 3) phenotyping of human cell lines using metabolomic techniques, 4) computational and experimental analysis of metabolic changes associated with disease, and 5) high-throughput drug screening. We use the state-of-the-art computational methods to guide and design human cell culturing experiments as well as metabolomic measurements. These technologies are embedded in a biologically driven research program that aims at systematic understanding of human metabolism, disease manifestation and drug target identification.

Job description:

  • Expansion and refinement of the human metabolic reconstruction.
  • Identification of missing metabolic genes using bioinformatics and modeling tools (gap filling)
  • Development of cell type specific metabolic models from experimental data and the human metabolic reconstruction.
  • Databases and literature mining for genomic information.
  • Computational modeling of human metabolism in health and disease.
  • The project will thus include key technologies used in computational systems biology and bioinformatics.
