BioEnterprise is a business formation, recruitment, and acceleration initiative designed to grow health care companies and commercialize bioscience technologies.
Modeling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. Computational systems biology aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modeling of biological systems.
The Physiome Project is a worldwide effort to define the physiome through the development of databases and models which will facilitate the understanding of the integrative function of cells, organs, and organisms.
Fascinating insight into the findings of research into the human microbiome.
the idea that microbes can both hurt and heal us. that future medicine will work on improving the ratio of microbes instead of wiping them out completely.
Lab investigating the networks in biological systems. Heard interview of mark gerstein on futures in biotech 83 explaining networks in protein bioinformatics
Fascinating idea. Use meta genomics the bacterial flora of the gut were included in an investigation on humans. They found that energy efficient bacteria were more common in those with a high BMI. So while evidence may show that humans don't become more efficient with energy the bacteria they host could do and thus encourage weight gain.
More specifically, LHDL aims to create the technical infrastructure for the Living Human Project (LHP). LHP will create a silico model of the human musculo-skeletal apparatus which can predict how mechanical forces are exchanged internally and externally, from the whole body down to the protein level. This model will be designed as an infrastructure that can be updated and extended whenever new data and algorithms become available. LHDL aims to develop this infrastructure.
The Living Human Project (LHP) is developing a worldwide, distributed repository of anatomo-functional data and of simulation algorithms relative to the human musculoskeletal apparatus, fully integrated into a seamless simulation environment and directly accessible by any researcher in the world. This infrastructure will be used to create the physiome of the human musculoskeletal system.
