I'm interested in the application and development of methods of systems theory in biology (systems biology). In particulary I work on the following topics: Thermodynamic constraints on biochemical network; Model reduction; Modeling and Analysis of metabolic regulation.

The major theme of the research in my laboratory is bacterial gene regulation. We are interested in signal perception mechanisms (in particular oxygen); signal transduction (ligand induced protein confromational changes); interaction of transcription factors with the core transcription machinery; interactions between transcription factors to integrate multiple signals; and the influence of promoter architectures on these events. We are also interested in aome aspects of post-transcriptional ...
