System Biology and Microbiology

Bioleaching is a phenomenon of dissolution of minerals where the microorganisms responsible for the bioleaching activity are strongly affected by the process conditions. Comprehensive and integrated studies of each of their associated biological components provide information on how these organisms behave upon a variety of conditions and reveal clues of how to control the process to improve its performance and efficiency.

Precisely Systems Biology is the study of biological systems or components such as molecules, cells or whole organisms, internally or externally, interacting with each other and with their environment.

Due to the complex and dynamic behavior of these living systems, we use tools that integrate the information to predict the individual properties of the parts, understanding the functional features of these systems and their relationship with the environment. The analysis tools include the “omics” disciplines such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics.
