Biological systems are inherently complex, adaptive, and dynamic across spatial and temporal scales. Climate change, resource scarcity, and the need for circularity in agriculture and biotechnology demand novel approaches for system-level analysis and prediction. The Simulation and Data Lab Digital Bioeconomy (SDL-DBE) provides simulation tools and data infrastructures to meet these challenges in the digital transformation of bioeconomy.
As part of the Centre for Advanced Simulation and Analytics (CASA) at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), SDL-DBE brings together scientific expertise from six participating institutes at Forschungszentrum Jülich: IBG-1 to IBG-5 and IAS-8. The lab develops and applies multiscale models, AI-enhanced simulations, and computational workflows across IBG-relevant domains such as plant science, microbial systems, and circular bioprocesses. It thus supports simulation-based research within the Helmholtz research fields Information as well as Earth and Environment contributing to national and European research infrastructures and collaborations in the field of data-intensive biosciences.
SDL-DBE actively contributes to collaborative doctoral and interdisciplinary research projects. Click the links below to get more information on the individual projects.
