Systems Biology
Systems Biology aims to understand living organisms as sets of functionally
linked components operating at different levels of biological complexity.
Systems Biology research includes studies of how genes are regulated and expressed in
cells, how gene and protein networks function and produce phenotypes, how cells
are structured and operate, how they combine to form organ systems, and how
organ systems combine to form whole individuals. The goal is to integrate
knowledge across these levels.
A distinguishing feature of Systems Biology is the production of very large
datasets from high-throughput technologies, and a central role for modelling:
mathematical modelling, high-performance computation and statistical analysis in
collaboration with basic biological research.
