The Snoep Lab’s core research efforts are in Computational Systems Biology; a combined experimental, modeling and theoretical approach to quantitatively understand the functional behavior of Biological Systems resulting from the characteristics of their components. Our main focus is on metabolism of human pathogens, such as  Plasmodium falciparum, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and on modelling disease states such as type 2 diabetes and HIV pathogenesis at a whole body level.
