Systems biology approaches to

The proinflammatory cytokine TNF simultaneously induces survival pathways via activation of the nuclear factor κB, and apoptotic signaling by caspase activation when activating its cognate membrane receptor, TNF receptor type 1. I am studying the differential dose-response relationships of these two major TNF signaling pathways using a quantitative and dynamic modelling approach to investigate the crosstalk mechanisms of pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling as a function of dosage and time, and leading to the final outcome of the cellular response.
