DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER

Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry (formerly Distinguished Professor), Jannie Hofmeyr, has been a  member of the Biochemistry Department, University of Stellenbosch,  since 1975. His research expertise lies in Computational Systems Biology, with main focus  the understanding of regulatory design of metabolism. He has made numerous fundamental contributions to the development of metabolic control analysis and computational systems biology, and with Athel Cornish-Bowden developed both co-response analysis and supply-demand analysis as a basis for understanding metabolic  regulation. Results from this research formed the basis for the development with André du Toit and Ben Loos of a method to measure autophagic flux.
