SysBioAmsterdam

A systems biology activity at the two Amsterdam Universities and beyond.

The Corona pandemic and systems biology

A Systems Biology model of the pandemic reveils diversity and failures in government policies with dire implications for the lives of millions. Press, parliament, nor public follow or anticipate these policies critically. A new systems biology model should enable them to do so and shows how and why policies fail and suggests improvements.

Welcome to Systems Biology Amsterdam

SysBA (www.SysBA.NL) is a systems biology/systems medicine centre at the two collaborating Amsterdam Universities and their institutes/centres SILS and AIMMS. SysBA is active on both the experimental and the modelling sides of the life sciences, focusing on their integration. It connects with systems biology centres in Luxembourg, Manchester, and Milano.


Wasn't this made for you?

ISBE.NL for ISBE light

SysBioAmsterdam hosts the  Dutch hub (ISBE.NL) for the Infrastrcuture Systems Biology Europe (ISBE).  It provides some of the first ISBE services such as modelling, certain experimentation, advice on standardization and maintains a model repository. 

4M4U: the Make-Me-My-Model service for you

4M4U models for biologists, biotechnologists, and clinicians who would like to use network models to address issues of applied or fundamental importance.  In its CORBEL activity, 4M also involves other European Life Science Research Infrastructures, such as those on bioinformatics, imaging and high-throughput experimentation.

Genome-wide metabolic maps for individuals

SysBioAmsterdam is setting up a facility at which genome-wide metabolic maps will be made for human individuals on the basis of their SNP pattern or whole genome sequence.  The implications of the features of the individual's genome sequence and available funtional genomic data will be estimated by computation.

IMSEC: Immune Systems Ecology

SysBioAmsterdam is home to IMSEC, the Immune Systems Ecology Centre, which implements ecology principles to immunology and immunological principles to ecology. 

A recent results has been a study of possible systems biological remediations of arsenic poisoning of drinking waters (info).

A service to all coupled to scientific progress

SysBioAmsterdam aims at providing service both to life scientists who appreciate that systems biology methods may accelerate their science and applications, and to the genral public.  The availability of data and test cases will greatly propel scientific developmenst in this area.
