Integrative loops between experiment and model

^{Copyright: Sonja Grün}

Network models provide the possibility to learn about biophysical and network mechanisms that underlie observations in experimental data. Experimental approaches typically do not allow us to perturb the dynamics or change the network because invasive or destructive approaches are required. The alternative, to ask different questions to the biological system by newly designing and building experiments is often too time consuming. Therefore it is highly desirable to have reasonably detailed bottom-up models at hand that replicate the experimental findings and support virtual experiments. The groups at INM-6 concentrating on models of structure and dynamics provide the great opportunity to approach such questions together.
