The hired candidate will focus on the system dynamics analysis and in silico evolution of molecular systems that can underlie persister cell formation and will also analyse the interaction between signalling and metabolism in the persister phenotype. These theoretical analyses will be performed in conjunction with experimental and bioinformatics work, which will focus on the characterisation of the persister phenotype.

-	The main aim of the proposed research is to analyze the relation between topological and biochemical features in signaling systems and response dynamics. The research strategy will involve building both detailed models of specific systems and generic models based on first-principles. Once such models are constructed we will be in a position to exhaustively analyze the repertoire of response dynamics in these systems and effectively map out their signal processing capabilities.
