Biography:

I am a computational biologist with a comprehensive background in cell and molecular biology. I completed a double Masters degree in process engineering and medical biotechnology at the University of Technology in Berlin, Germany in 2005 before undertaking my PhD in cancer genetics at the University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia that was awarded to me in 2011. I have gained rich experience being involved of leading projects in blood and stem cell transfusion medicine, asthma and allergy inflammation as well as cancer biology from animal model to genetic and mathematical representations in the past 18 years that provide me with the unique understanding of biological units and networks in organisms. Since 2012, I am focussing on the mathematical and computational representations of metabolism with the aim to better understand complex gene trait-regulation in crop plants. I am particularly interested in complex networks of proteins and how their location, connectivity and abundance influence the energy household and other biological processes. I am administrating the SUBA3 and cropPAL databases that offer a protein location catalogue for the construction of biological networks.

Research:

My work includes analysis and interpretation and integration of large scale omics data towards exploring answers around plant energy balancing and cost calculations. I have developed and maintained data resources describing the subcellular location of proteins in Arabidopsis (SUBA) and crop plants (cropPAL).
