Research topics in our Group
The main goals of our current research work are:
- To examine several conceptual issues of philosophy of biology from a systemic approach, paying special attention to the problem of biological function, to the notion of constraint in Evolutionary Biology, to the relation between artificiality and possibility, and to concepts such as emergence, hierarchies or downwards causation.
- To characterize,
conceptually and through the construction of simulations and models,
the minimal living organization
and its relationship with the environment, and according to that, the notion of autonomous agent and the
organizational principles of minimal cognition.
- To develop a Bioethics
based on Systems Biology, with the aim of reinterpreting notions
like health and disease, ethical issues in genomics or biobanks
from a a holistic approach.
