| Description | This funding has supported the development of advanced methods for the study of the evolution of cellular systems, in particular how interactions between proteins can be related to each other via the duplication and subsequent divergence of genes. |
| Exploitation Route | Our methods will be of use in the field of evolutionary systems biology and for extrapolating results obtained from model organisms to other species. |
| Sectors | Manufacturing, including Industrial Biotechology,Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
