Andreas Dräger is the assistant professor for Computational Systems Biology of Infection and Antimicrobial-Resistant Pathogens at the University of Tübingen in Germany. His group aims to combat the spreading antibiotics resistances by using mathematical modeling and computer simulation of bacterial systems up to entire microbiomes and host-pathogen interactions. In doing so, his group actively contributes to the advancement of various COMBINE standards.

Computational Biologist

I am a researcher (PhD student) working at Wageningen University & Research as bioinformatician and modeller. I am working as part of the MycoSynVac (http://www.mycosynvac.eu/) project on dynamic modelling of central carbon metabolism in M. pneumoniae, to be extended to full dynamic modelling of metabolism to be implemented in a whole cell model. I am also looking into possibilities to improve standards in model generation using semantic technologies, improving automatic generation, annotation ...

My scientific interests revolve around functional genomics, systems biology and the development of algorithms and software for the analysis of high-throughput data (mainly, but not restricted to, Next Generation Sequencing) and its application to the relationship between genotype and phenotype, mainly oriented to personalized and precision medicine. I am especially interested in the study of disease mechanisms and drug action mechanisms, drug repositioning and the definition of mechanism-based ...

I am staff scientist in the lab of molecular-genetic systems at the Department of Systems Biology, Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS and Postdoc Research Fellow at San Diego State University. My research focus is dynamical modeling of gene network functioining.

Head of Scientific IT Services and member of the ITS executive board at ETH Zurich. Project manager of SyBIT. Project partner of the FAIRDOM Initiative.

I am a postdoc in The University of Tokyo. My research interest is to know structure of biological systems by functional relationships between genes working in response to endogenous and/or exogenous disruptions. I'm trying to find functional relationships between genes by similarity of phenotype defined with high-dimensional morphological features in yeast gene deletion collection. I'm happy if you will talk with me in any topics.

I am a biomodeler, PhD student. Actually, I've graduated from Novosibirsk State University on two specialities: my bachelor diploma is done in computer science and the master thesis is defended in information biology. So, I'm kind of drifting towards biology. I am a part of the Haploid Evolutionary Constructor project. Our research group studies are dedicated to the simulation of prokaryotic communities. Personally, I am involved into the simulation of spatially distributed bacterial communities ...

I studied Life Science (which is similar to chemical biology) at the University of Konstanz and became interested in Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and quantitative analyses during my Master's. In my PhD project I combine experimental analyses with modeling and parameter estimation approaches to quantitatively analyse regulation of apoptosis at the level of the Bcl-2 protein family.

Trained as a Computer Scientist at the University of Jena, Germany, my interests drifted more and more towards "computing life" during my PhD at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, Canada. On one hand, that term captures that I got fascinated by the idea to understand life as a form of computation and to describe, reprogram, and reassemble parts of cells as described in many brilliant experiments from a spectrum of disciplines ranging from DNA computing to Synthetic ...

Software developer for FAIRDOM

Senior Research Software Engineer and Architect working at the University of Manchester within the FAIRDOM team.

Leads the development of FAIRDOM SEEK and RightField.

I have a permanent position at the department of microbiology at the TU-München. As a microbiologist I am interested in the regulation of central metabolism in prokaryotic organisms with different types of energy metabolism such as Clostridia, Bacilli and acetic acid bacteria. Furthermore I worked as a software developer for several years in a bioinformatics company and I am very interested in bioinformatics and handling of large amounts of data.

I am a research associate in the department of computer science at the University of Sheffield since January 2008. My research is primarily involved with using agent-based modelling techniques and mathematical modelling techniques to model Escherichia coli K-12 Respiratory Adaptation. My research interests also include, development of workflows to analyze Microarray Data.

I am group leader of the SDBV (Scientific Databases and Visualisation) group at the HITS gGmbH, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies.

I am interested in finding data. Starting with my master's thesis I have always worked on how to store data in a way that you can find it, and how to make sense out of data that has been stored.

Within FAIRDOM I find interesting to help people to store their data in a way that they make sense even after years.
