TL;DR. Modeling biological metabolic pathways to understand and simulate how organisms function at a molecular level.

Technical Definition

Modeling biological metabolic pathways to understand and simulate how organisms function at a molecular level.

How it works

Metabolic network reconstruction and simulation involves creating computational models of an organism's metabolic pathways. These models link the organism's genome to its physiological functions, providing deep insights into its molecular mechanisms. This allows researchers to analyze and predict how metabolic processes will respond under different conditions.
