Understanding the Dynamics of Biological Systems Lessons Learned from Integrative Systems Biology

Systems biology has risen as a direct result of the limitation of conventional (reductionistic) biology to understand complex phenomena emerging as a result of dynamic and multiscale biological interactions. By applying mathematical and computational models, systems biologists integrate the elementa...
