CancerSys - Systems Biology Approach Goes From Mathematics To Visible Changes In Liver Cancer
Sunday, May 18, 2008 - 18:35
in Biology & Nature
With systems biology methods, CancerSys investigates molecular- and cell-biological processes in the formation of tumors in the liver Systems Biology is a young field with the overall aim of creating a holistic picture of dynamic life processes with regard to all levels - from the genome via the proteome and the organisation of the cell organelles all the way to the complete cell or even an entire organism. In doing so, Systems Biology takes into consideration the dynamic interplay of the components involved. In order to achieve this high aspiration, Systems Biology combines quantitative methods used in molecular biology with knowledge gathered in mathematics, informatics and systems science. read more
