Eberhard O. Voit (born 8 February 1953) is a Clinical Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. Until 2024, he was a Professor and David D. Flanagan Chair in Biological Systems at the Georgia Institute of Technology, [2] where is now Professor Emeritus, and a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar. [3] He leads the Laboratory for Biological Systems Analysis.
Eberhard Otto Voit was born on February 8, 1953, in Dortmund, Germany. He received the Diplom (Master's of Science) in Biology (Zoology, Genetics, Mathematics; 1976), Philosophikum in Philosophy and Education (1977), Staatsexamen (Master's of Science) in Mathematics (1978), and Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D.) in Developmental and Theoretical Biology (1981) from the University of Cologne. From 1981 to 1982, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the mentorship of Professor Michael Savageau.
Voit held research and faculty positions at the University of Cologne, the University of Michigan, the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, and at the Cooperative Research Centre for Temperate Hardwood Forestry in Tasmania, Australia. In 2004, he joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory. [4] He is now affiliated with the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Voit is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), [5] the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) [6] and the Society for Mathematical Biology (SMB). [7] He is furthermore an Overseas Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine of the United Kingdom. Voit also used to be part of the Men's Glee Club in University of Michigan.
Voit is recognized as a leading expert in complex biomedical systems modeling and, in particular, the scientific modeling and systems analysis framework of Biochemical Systems Theory (BST) [8] [9] [10] Voit's team has been developing numerous methodologies within BST and using these, along with other modeling techniques, to analyze biomedical phenomena from microbial dynamics [11] and bacterial metapopulations [12] to diseases like schizophrenia [13] and malaria. [14] He has also worked in the areas of computational statistics [15] [16] and metabolic engineering. [17] [18]
Voit has documented these advancements in about 300 scientific journal articles and book chapters. He is also the author of several books, some with translations into Chinese and Korean, [19] an introductory text for undergraduate and graduate students, and The Inner Workings of Life: Vignettes in Systems Biology [20] a non-technical introduction to systems biology for educated non-experts.
