Our two locations at the University of Edinburgh: the Informatics Forum and the CH Waddington Building.

what we do

Our team develops computational methods to study molecular networks in living cells. We use mathematics to understand natural networks and to design novel systems for biotechnology and biomedicine. We employ a wide range of mathematical methods, such as machine learning, control theory, stochastic analysis and network theory. Large parts of our work are in collaboration with Systems and Synthetic Biology labs in the UK and abroad.

who we are

The group lead is Diego Oyarzún and includes research students and postdocs. Together we gather expertise in many disciplines like machine learning, mathematics, biochemistry and bioinformatics.

where we work

We are very lucky to be co-located at the School of Informatics and the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Edinburgh, in one of the most vibrant and stimulating European capitals. We are members of SynthSys, the Edinburgh Centre for Synthetic and Systems Biology.
