• Program: UGR (Université de la Grande Région)

• Project acronym: I-DERBI

• Project title: I-DERBI

• Duration: January 2010 - April 2012

• Coordinator: C. Carlberg (Luxembourg)

• Other partners: Université du Luxembourg, Université de Liège (Belgium) , Saarland University (Germany)

• Abstract: We stand at the brink of a fundamental change in how medicine will be practiced in the next 5-20 years. This change will require the unprecedented integration of biology, medicine, technology and computation as well as societal issues of major importance: ethical, regulatory, public policy, economic, and others. These needs have encouraged the emergence of a biology-based inter-disciplinary study field, systems biology, which focuses on the modeling of complex biological systems. Systems biology covers a large spectrum of applications: biomedicine, bioprocesses engineering, environmental science and pharmaceutical discovery. The ambition of the I-DERBI pilot project is to initiate and develop synergy of education and research in Systems Biology within the Grande Région.
