Center for Models of Life

In the Center for Models of Life, CMOL, we use methods from physics to develop understanding of living systems. We model regulation of living systems aiming to understand the strategies of gene regulation and dynamics of self organization, with a focus on simple conceptual and quantitative models. Our research tackles diversity of biological systems from biological development to emergence of complex communities.

Universal biology group will open at Niels Bohor Institute, May 2022, headed by Professor Kunihiko Kaneko, with tight collaboration with Center for Models of Life and Universal Biology Institute at Univ of Tokyo. Professor Kaneko will join the Niels Bohr Institute as a full professor from May 2022. Universal Biology aims to unveil universal characteristics in life systems and universal laws in adaptation, development, and evolution, with the spirit of physics (in particular, statistical physics and dynamical systems), by noting consistency between hierarchical levels – molecules, cells, organisms, and ecosystem.

For more details of the project, see http://chaos.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/UBNBI/UBNBI-KK.pdf ;

for (related) KK’s publications, please refer to http://chaos.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/study/study-list.html or google scholar page ).

 

 

  • A postdoc position  and a PhD fellowship are available for the NNF funded project "Universal growth laws of viruses of bacteria" (led by Prof. Mitarai). Scientists with strong mathematical and computational skills in physics/complex systems who has keen interest to extend their skills to understand microbial and viral systems are strongly encouraged to contact Namiko Mitarai for detail.  We also consider a strong experimentalist in the relevant field (microbiology, single-cell experiments of bacteria) if they are open to collaborate closely with and learn the modelling approach. 
  • A PhD fellowship in Algorithm of disease spreading (principle super visor Prof. Kim Sneppen) is available. For application, please follow the link.
