Partnership
with CRG – Systems Biology |
|
|
|
The emerging academic field of systems biology studies the relationships and interactions between various parts of a biological system. For systems biology it is often important to use genomics and proteomics approaches, data resources and computer simulations in combination with detailed experimental testing. EMBL has gathered much of the expertise required to take a systems approach and wishes to combine and extend these efforts to contribute to the deeper understanding of complex biological phenomena in the future.
With the formation of the partnership between EMBL and the Centre for Genomic Regulation [CRG], EMBL is set to advance the understanding of complex biological systems. This new partnership combines EMBL's expertise in computational biology with the CRG's know-how in specific areas of genomics and proteomics and will allow to better understand some of the key aspects of human health.
Head of the new unit on the campus of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park will be Luis Serrano, who coordinated the EMBL Structural and Computational Biology Unit in Heidelberg. Research will draw on the expertise of various scientific disciplines and will span the entire range from molecules to cells. The five multidisciplinary groups will work with a variety of research techniques, including RNA interference, biochemical networks and mouse development.
