Dept. for Innovative Methods of Computing
Head of the department is Andreas Deutsch.
Mission
Our research is directed at the development of innovative mathematical models and simulation tools to detect organizational principles of selected biological systems. We focus on "cellular systems" which possess a multitude of interaction mechanisms whose cooperative interplay guarantees in particular the development of organismic forms. Disorders in cell interaction can lead to diseases and malignant pattern formation (e.g. tumor growth). Important insights into function and regulation of biological systems can be gained by linking mathematical modeling and computational tools with biological/medical in vitro, and in vivo data. We work on interdisciplinary projects on the basis of local, national, and international cooperations.
We develop the software Morpheus, a modeling and simulation environment for the study of multiscale and multicellular systems.
