BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR
About the speaker and her research:
Mathematical modelling of dynamic biological phenomena. Prof. Klipp's Lab is involved in multi-disciplinary research projects to understand cellular organization, cellular processes, stress response, and decision making. Using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as major model organism, we develop predictive models of various signalling pathways, metabolic pathways, cell cycle and the interaction of such pathways upon environmental changes. They closely collaborate with various experimental groups for iterative modelling and experimentation. The mathematical methods include ordinary and partial differential equations, Boolean and Bayesian networks, deterministic and stochastic simulations as well as various aspects of dynamic systems theory. They also develop computational tools for the processing of such models, including parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis and semantic assignments. Klipp is involved in various initiatives for standardization both of mathematical models and respective experimentation. She is founding member of the International Society of Systems Biology, member of several scientific advisory boards for systems biology consortia (Reactome, RoBust, Crisp), co-organizer of FEBS Advanced Lecture Courses in Systems Biology (2007, 2009), and PI in several European and national research consortia for systems biology.
1990 - 1994 PhD thesis (Dr. rer. nat.) in Theoretical Biophysics: "Calculation of optimal kinetic parameters of enzymatic processes based on special reaction mechanisms". At Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, supervisor: Prof. Dr. R. Heinrich.
