The emerging field of systems biology involves studying and modeling complex biosystems in their entirety — from the molecular, cellular, tissue, to systems scales. Collaborative research efforts emphasize the use of quantitative measurement and mathematical and computational modeling for research in the life sciences.

Biologists, physicists, engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and chemists combine their talents to model human physiology, to better understand the dynamic molecular architecture of the cell, and to study how cells propagate and cooperate to form organs.

Cell to cell communication, the life cycle, and problems in environmental systems are among the fascinating systems biology studies underway.
