[[Image(FranRomero:me.jpg, 200, nolink)]] ==== '''Name:''' Francisco J. Romero-Campero ==== ==== '''Institution:''' Computer Science Department, University of Nottingham ==== ==== '''Introduction:''' My research interests are focused on the computational/mathematical simulation and analysis of biological complex systems. At the moment I work in a computational and stochastic framework for systems and synthetic biology based on P systems which includes a modular and parsimonious modelling language for multicellular systems, model checking and sensitivity analysis. I am applying this framework to study the gene regulatory system responsible for quorum sensing in bacterial colonies of ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'' and to the design of synthetic bacterial colonies exhibiting predefined spatio-temporal patterns of gene expression. ==== ==== '''Links:''' [http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~fxc/ My web page] [http://www.infobiotic.org/infobiotics-workbench/index.html Infobitics Workbench] ====
