Biochemical Networks


Group leader: Prof. dr. Pieter Rein ten Wolde

Biochemical networks are the central processing units of life. They can perform a variety of computational tasks analogous to electronic circuits. Their design principles, however, are markedly different: in a biochemical network, computations are performed by molecules that chemically and physically interact with each other. The aim of the Biochemical Networks group is to unravel their design principles using a combination of database analyses, theory and computer simulation.
