Interdisciplinary research, looking at systems of the human body as part of an integrated whole
This interdisciplinary field of research looks at the systems of the human body as part of an integrated whole, incorporating biochemical, physiological and environmental interactions to understand the bigger picture - whether at the level of the organism, tissue or cell - by putting the parts together.
Our goal is systems medicine research, implementation and consulting in the field of high-throughput data and bioinformatics and statistical research methods in medicine.
Our tasks
- Development of research modules in teaching - at the system level in the field of BIG data, epidemiology, biostatistics and clinical research, meta-analyses
- Own research focus: Systems oncology, chronomedicine, systems biology, epidemiology, public (mental) health, systems neuroscience, clinical neuroscience
- Epidemiological and systems medicine research: Translational approach to combine molecular research and clinical and population-based studies
- Medical informatics and digitalization: methods of computational biology and bioinformatics for the analysis of high-throughput data, development and implementation of databases
- Establishment of an internal service facility for RNA quantification/sequencing, chronobiology, and systems oncology for the characterization of tumor cells and drug testing
- Bioinformatic analysis of data (computational)
- Representation of systems medicine disciplines in (inter)national consortia, professional societies and institutions
