Tie KoideSystemic Biology of microorganisms. The Laboratory of Systemic Biology of Microorganisms (LaBiSisMi) has the mission to contribute to the understanding of microorganisms, understood as an integrated dynamical system, searching for quantitative multi-scale models to understand their behavior, guided by Experimental Molecular Biology in synergy with Mathematics/Computing. Currently, we are working with the study of an extremophilic archaea and the influence of non-coding RNAs on global gene regulation.
