I'm a modeller, specialized in kinetic modeling of biochemical networks. My focus in the SysMO-LAB consortium is on creating models of Lactococcus lactis glycolysis and couple this to other related lactic acid bacteria like Streptococcus pyogenes and Enterococcus faecalis. Besides kinetic modeling, I'm also interested in combining various modeling techniques (genome-scale modeling, qualitative modeling).

I am working on a kinetic model of the central metabolism as well as on a genome wide model of Streptococcus pyogenes.
Following on in silico and in vitro work, the effect of MCAD deficiency on CoA metabolism was investigated. Using a recently published HILIC-MS/MS method, free and acylated CoA species could be measured simultaneously in HepG2 MCAD-KO cells. The levels of CoA biosynthesis intermediates and total CoA was also characterised by HPLC in liver samples from MCAD-KO mice exposed to energetic stress (fasting adn cold). qPCR was applied to investigate changes in the CoA metabolism that might constitute ...
