Computational Systems Biology of Infections

and Antimicrobial-Resistant Pathogens

Welcome to the Draeger Research Group!

The Dräger research group (est. July 2018) applies computer-aided systems biology, focusing on infections and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The research covers all steps from the biological phenomenon to its simulation in the computer, including the reconstruction of biological systems, their mathematical modeling, the standardization of these models, the development of specialized software solutions, and the application of machine learning and data visualization. Deriving model-driven new hypotheses from combating increasing antibiotic resistance systematically constitutes a primary aim.
