Bioinformation & Systems Biology Group
The Bioinformation & Systems Biology Group is a research group whose mission is the study of information processing in the fundamental levels of biological organization: molecular automata, molecular recognition, the informational scheme of cell organization, physiological bases of neural processing, social organization ("sociotype") ... Thus, in addition to contributing to Systems Biology, the group possesses a line of neurobiology and theoretical neuroscience aimed at elucidating the processing of information from the nervous system, as well as a social reseach line.
Members of the group:
Pedro C. Marijuán (pcmarijuan.iacs@aragon.es), Senior Researcher, is the leader of the Bioinformation & Systems Biology Group at the Aragón Institute of Health Science (IACS). Engineer and Doctor in Cognitive Neuroscience (PhD Thesis on "Natural Intelligence", University of Barcelona, 1989). During more than 20 years he has advanced research on the nature of biological (cellular) information, communication, knowledge, and intelligence. He has covered both the intracellular molecular mechanisms and the systemic, behavioral (brain), and social realms. He was co-founder with Michael Conrad of FIS (Foundations of Information Science).
Raquel del Moral Bergós (rdelmoral.iacs@aragon.es), Graduate in Biology, Complutense University of Madrid. Master in Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Zaragoza. In 2008 she joined the Bioinformation Group of the Aragón Institute of Health Science (IACS) as Research Assistant. Her main research interest is on Neuroscience, but she is also keen on the nature of social information, and the parallel with the biology. At the present time she develops a project research on the structures of social bonding ("sociotype") potencially addressed to mental well-being in healthy ageing.
Jorge Navarro López (jnavarro.iacs@aragon.es), Graduate in Chemical Engineering, University of Zaragoza. Master in Physics and Physical Technologies, University of Zaragoza. In 2008 he joined the Bioinformation Group of the Aragón Institute of Health Science (IACS) as Research Assistant. His main research interest is on Systems Biology, but also cellular signaling systems, cellular intelligence and the nature of biological information. He is also working on the neurophysiology of laughter.
