Dr Oliver Ebenhoeh - University of Aberdeen

The goal of Oliver's research is to link physical sciences to biology to derive a theoretical understanding of living systems. Focused on understanding cellular interaction networks using theoretical approaches, his group has developed novel theoretical concepts to study large-scale metabolic networks, by which it has become possible to relate structural to functional properties and, from identifying characteristic features that cannot be expected to have appeared by chance, important clues about the evolutionary history of such networks could be obtained.
 
His group also applies traditional, differential equation based, modelling techniques to study metabolic, signalling and regulatory systems to understand their underlying design principles.
 
Oliver received his PhD from the Humboldt University Berlin. Before coming to Aberdeen, he led the research group "Systems Biology and Mathematical Modelling" at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam, Germany.
