Welcome to the complex biological systems
group
Dr. Franziska
Matthäus
Center for Modeling and Simulation in the
Biosciences (BIOMS)
University
of Heidelberg
Our
group is interested in different complex
biological systems, including
- cellular motion (random search,
chemokinesis or taxis) and its
regulation by internal signaling
pathways
- complex network applications to
describe the structure of functional
connectivity of the brain
- neuropathological diseases
We are approaching these systems
using
- mathematical models based on
ordinary and partial differential
equations
- cellular automata
- theory of complex networks
- data analysis methods for
dimensionality reduction, pattern
identification, or network generation
Our work is purely theoretical. But
since the questions we try to answer are
of biological nature, our mathematical and
computational approaches are developed in
tight collaboration with experimental
partners.
