Organisation
Centre for Liver, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases
Department
The University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) offers an excellent environment for research and training of scientific skills. Together with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Groningen, the UMCG has recently established a new Systems Biology Centre for Energy Metabolism and Ageing (SBS-EMA). The Systems Biology group headed by Dr. B.M. Bakker is part of the Centre for Liver, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases.
Project description
The SysMO-funded SilicoTryp project aims at developing a computational model of Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness, by combining cutting edge post-genomic technologies and advanced statistical, mathematical and bioinformatics approaches. The work is carried out in a close collaboration of several European research universities. The consortium consists of modellers, statisticians, biochemists and molecular cell biologists.
Trypanosomes, blood-borne parasites transmitted by tsetse flies, are the causal agent of African sleeping sickness, a deadly disease for humans and cattle. A systems biology study of trypanosomes is particularly timely and has the potential to provide critical insights to the fundamental mechanisms controlling this parasite. Indeed, due to some of the trypanosome's unique biological characteristics and the wealth of information obtained in biomedical studies, this organism is particularly suited to a systems biological approach. Computational models of glucose metabolism as well as of the unusual gene-expression cascade of the organism have provided insight into the regulation of its physiology. The next step, which the SilicoTryp consortium will take, is to link glucose metabolism to the redox - trypanothione pathway and oxidative stress, as well as to signalling and gene expression.
