Advanced Methods, Data and Analyses to understand Living systems

Modern life sciences needs to expand and innovate state-of-the-art methods that allow researchers to investigate life at all of its different scales of temporal and spatial organisation. This theme brings together scientists at the forefront of these technologies and methods that transform generated data into biological knowledge. Data reduction, artificial intelligence and data integration are key elements in understanding the complexity of life. With the interconnection of established methods and the new prospects, these techniques impact all levels of the life sciences. This research community represents instrumental and methodological research and education that drive the development of quantitative biology and life science analysis.

Advanced Methods, Data and Analyses to understand Living systems advisory committee

The Advanced Methods, Data and Analyses to understand Living systems advisory committee contributes to the organisation of the life sciences field and gives solicited and unsolicited advice to the Round Table Life Sciences and the board of the NWO Science domain on NWO policy.

The Advanced Methods, Data and Analyses to understand Living systems advisory committee has the following members:

• Ron Heeren, Maastricht University, innovations in mass spectrometry and their applications to other disciplines

• Dimphna Meijer, Delft University of Technology, molecular and cellular neuroscience, structural neurobiology and neurodegenerative diseases

NWO secretary: Ralf Boland

Duties of the NWO Research Communities

• Identifying new developments in the sub-field of the working group;
• Maintaining contact with the research field;
• Maintaining the network with the Dutch National Research Agenda, Top Sectors, sectorplan Biology, existing societies in the field, etc.;
• Help shape and execute the network and forum function of NWO in the life science field (during Life, for example);
• Give unsolicited and solicited advice to the Round Table Life Science and, through the Round Table, to the Board of the NWO Domain Science (ENW).
