Metabolic Networks

Thanks to the functional annotation of genomes and advances in metabolomics, it is now possible to study the metabolic network of an organism as a whole. Bioinformatics makes an indispensable contribution to each step leading to the overall analysis of a metabolic network, automated rebuilding of it in developing new algorithms and dedicated tools..

Application field: some food contaminants like Bipshenol A may have impact on Human Health. Our aim is to study potential metabolic impacts of these compounds according to different doses and during critical Human development phases (e.g. pregnancy).
developing methods to study genome-scale metabolic networks. These approaches are mainly based on graph models and constraint based modelling. The aim is, based on experimental data like metabolomics ones, to retrieve parts of the organism metabolism affected by genetic or environmental perturbations.
