Jörg Stelling

Jörg Stelling is Professor of Computational Systems Biology at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich. After receiving his Ph.D. degree in Control and Dynamic systems from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 2004, he joined the faculty of the Computer Science Department at ETH Zurich. In 2008, he moved as one of the founding members of the newly created Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE), ETH Zürich. He works at the interface of systems and synthetic biology, focusing on the analysis and synthesis of biological networks using—and further developing—methods from systems theory and computer science. His main aims of current research are to understand how inter-individual variability impacts the functioning of complex networks in biological systems, and to provide concepts and methods for the rational design of biological systems despite uncertain and non-robust components and interactions.
