Matthias König (PhD. in Biophysics) leads an independent junior research group for Systems Biology and Systems Medicine of the liver with focus on metabolic research at the Humboldt University Berlin. His research areas include computational modeling, data science, development of bioinformatics methods and machine learning based on biological, medical and clinical data for predictive modeling of physiological processes and systems. He has been actively involved in the development of SBML, SED-ML and software supporting these standards: Lead-developer of cy3sbml and sbmlutils; co-developer of the SBML simulation software libroadrunner and tellurium.
Key projects are the personalized evaluation of liver function tests and multi-scale modeling of the liver. For more information have a look at our projects.
