Higher forms of life emerge from a more sophisticated use of often conserved signalling pathways to regulate biological function. The complex behaviour of the resulting cellular signalling networks is impossible to grasp by verbal models alone. 

We develop data-driven, predictive models of biological signaling networks with a view to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and evolution of cellular signaling.
