Professor Rainer Brietling - University of Glasgow

Rainer Breitling is a systems biologist with a special interest in the interpretation of large post-genomic datasets in a mechanistic context. Work in his group is based on datasets from a broad variety of model organisms. Current projects include the dynamic modeling of metabolism in protozoan parasites, the synthetic biology of antibiotic production in actinomycetes, and the development of computational tool for the analysis of high-accuracy metabolomics data. Rainer obtained his PhD in Munich, Germany, and was a postdoctoral fellow in San Diego and Glasgow, and an assistant professor in Groningen, The Netherlands. He came to Glasgow in 2010 as a SULSA Chair in Systems Biology.
