Systems biology
„We execute novel analysis in the field of systems biology, with the aim to declare the efficiency of a therapeutic for stomach carcinoma”, states Julian Mattes. By means of therapeutic antibodies the researches attempt to block the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This is a protein, which activates the cell metabolism and is underrepresented in the tumor cells of the stomach carcinoma.
Transnational cooperation
CANCERMOTYSIS is a joint project between academic and industrial partner from Austria and Germany. About 17 researcher work within that project. Systems biology is a growing aspect in the field biological research. An interdisciplinary approach combines mathematical concepts, computer aided operations und biological experiments.
