In this thesis we use differential equations for mathematically representing biological processes. For this we have to infer the associated parameters for fitting the differential equations to measurement data. If the structure of the ODE itself is uncertain, model selection methods have to be applied. We refine several existing Bayesian methods, ranging from an adaptive scheme for the computation of high-dimensional integrals to multi-chain Metropolis-Hastings algorithms for high-dimensional parameter inference. We then present a range of examples.
