Short Biography

I was awarded an MSc in electrical and communication engineering from the Augsburg University of Applied Science, Germany, in 1991 and a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence and machine learning from the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, UK, in 1997.

From January 2000 to December 2001 I spearheaded the data mining developments at the Intelligent Bioinformatics Systems Group at the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany. Since 2002 I hold the Chair of Bioinformatics at the Biomedical Sciences Research Institute, Faculty of Life and Health Science, at the University of Ulster at Coleraine, Northern Ireland, UK.

Teaching & Learning Activities

Postgraduate Certificate in Systems Biology
- Module 1: Foundations of Systems Biology
- Module 2: Dynamic biological systems and networks

This course is designed for students and researchers with a life science background wanting to learn more about the formal concepts and tools facilitating the modeling, analysis and simulation of biological systems. Play the single-canvas presentation below to get an idea of the course.

You should maximize the screen. You may iterate through the presentation manually (use arrows at the bottom) or activate autoplay.

Research Interests

My current research interests are in the area of multiscale modelling and simulation in biology (see the MAPPER project) and reverse-engineering of gene-regulation network models. A main challenge in reverse-engineering is the inference of reliable mechanistic network structure (as opposed to producing a good dynamic response to new input data) from gene expression data.
