Bioinformatics

Quantitative and qualitative modelling for simulation-based analysis of biological and biomedical networks with emphasis to 

  1.  understanding behavior of underlying networks.
  2. prediction of molecular targets.
  3. identification of efficient drug and drug combinations in line with target-based drug discovery.
