Research Interests
BIOQUANT the recently established Center for "Quantitative analysis of molecular and cellular bio
systems" at the University of Heidelberg is the first research center in <strong>German</strong>y solely dedicated to
Systems Biology.
It is the central building of the interdisciplinary research network BIOQUANT that integrates system
biology research dispersed over the various university and non‐university research centers at
Heidelberg campus. It unites experimental scientists and theoreticians under one roof, and its
objective is to represent a platform for the constant refinement of models and the swift validation of
scientific hypotheses via experimental data.
Currently, projects of four prestigious research consortia are accommodated at BIOQUANT, namely
FORSYS‐VIROQUANT funded by BMBF, the public‐ private‐partnership program BioMS, the excellence
cluster CellNetworks funded by the DFG as well as parts of the <strong>Helmholtz</strong> program Systems Biology of
Cancer (SBCancer).
BIOQUANT's research program consists of four distinct but closely interconnected project areas
dedicated to the investigation of protein machines‐ biogenesis, interaction and regulation; dynamics of
cell architecture; information processing in complex multi‐cellular networks and alteration of networks
by infectious pathogens.
A central technology platform at BIOQUANT is providing advanced computational methods and tools
for data analysis, visualization and modeling as well as cutting edge technologies and equipment for
quantitative analysis.
