The center collects a large number of senior researchers and PhD students at the Albanova university campus. Most of these were geographically localized to the “small upper houses “at the time of the inauguration of Albanova in 2001.  In the fall of 2006 two other research constellations co-localized in this area, namely the one in computational biology in “house 16” and NORDITA in “house 13”. Together, these constellations collect more than 100 researchers and PhD students in biological modelling at Albanova, an unprecedented concentration of expertise in the area in Sweden.  These actors supplement each other, all the way "from molecule to man", with molecular atomistic modeling covering the lower part, from amino acids  up to proteins,  and with  the mathematical biology and Nordita biology groups taking on the upper part  through biostatistics, bioinformatics, computational neuroscience and systems biology. Through the implementation of the multiscale/multiphysics concept, with full account of dynamical interactions, the centre will cover a broad range of biological phenomena using modelling that transcends scales in both length and time. In this the centre complements excellently the Stockholm Bioinformatics Center and the activities within statistical biology. The sheer man-power and strength of the center formation will ensure a considerable future resource allocation both nationally and internationally.
