PhD positions, appointment for 4 years

  • A knowledge base of polyphenol degradation routes in humans using concept maps will be build. Based on this, systems biology models will be made. Finally, validating the knowledge base using systems biology model results will be explored.
  • Grey modeling methodology will be developed that combines data driven models and prior information to build systems biology models. The main research questions are how to incorporate various types of prior knowledge in these models and how to validate the grey models.
  • Protein-protein interaction networks of the protein makeup of synapses in the brain will be build. From these networks, methods to predict new protein complexes have to be developed.
