Biochemist currently keeping busy as: Research Data Manager (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Software Engineer (Heidelberg University) and member of the SBML Development Team (Caltech).

Since August 2008 I am professor in Systems Biology at the VU University Amsterdam. My Systems Bioinformatics group focusses on systems biology with a special focus on integrative bioinformatics. It aims at forming bridges between the classical bottom-up approaches in systems biology and the more data-driven approaches in classical bioinformatics. We combine experimental, modeling and theoretical approaches to study cellular physiology, with an emphasis on metabolic networks.
