About the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences
The Swammerdam Institute is bringing together more than 200 researchers with knowledge from many areas of science, amongst others: biology, (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, medicine and data analysis- and information technology. In these areas research is carried out at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Integrating the knowledge from different areas is essential to reach our final goal: understanding life processes. Therefore, Systems Biology has become a focal point of attention from 2004 onwards.
