Computer modeling of dynamic biological systems: Our core
skill
BioInformatics Services has nearly 30 years of experience in
constructing computer models of biological systems at all levels
of biological organization from molecular cell biology to whole
human physiology. Our approach can be summed up in a few key
phrases:
- We test hypotheses by formulating them as computer models
and comparing their predictions directly to experimental
data.
- We build models of biological systems based on the basic
principles of physical chemistry, biochemistry, cell
biology, and physiology.
- We are expert in the process of translating your working
hypothesis into the language of a model.
- We exploit a model's ability to uncover significant new
biological information.
- We provide statistically sound parameter estimates based
on available experimental data.
- We employ models to design efficient experimental tests
of new ideas.
- We are fascinated by and focused on the big picture, yet
passionate about details.
We call this approach Integrative
Bioinformatics.
