Mathematical modeling of complex biological phenomena and diseases is an important approach to combine the accumulating amount of data in biological investigations and the increasing qualitative understanding of cellular operation in a productive way. The realization of genomic information in a biological instance is ensured by a complex network of processes. The dynamic behavior of such processes cant be understood intuitively. Only a comprehensive approach allows the understanding of complex system behavior like optimal regulation or adaptation. We use mathematical models to describe and investigate cellular processes and regulatory links from gene expression to metabolism.

The complexity of cellular networks is an outstanding challenge for documentation, visualisation and mathematical modelling. In this project, we develop a new way to describe these networks that minimises the combinatorial complexity and allows an automatic visualisation and export to mathematical models.
