Personal text
Systems Biology now is very promising and challenge in many areas.  I am a person who believes in systems biology science.  So I decide to start working in this group to gain my knowledge and experiences in this field. Right now I have focus on mathematical modelling of human metabolism and omics data integration analysis as well as biological network analysis. I hope that my focused work will lead to better understanding the cause of human diseases (e.g. cancer, obesity, diabetes) and affect of nutrition on human health.
