Integrative Genomics to Understand Complex Biological Systems
A complete understanding of living creatures and their behaviors cannot come from studying only one aspect of physiology. Rather, it emerges from integrating knowledge across scales, domains, and dimensions to understand the network of cellular interactions underlying biological systems. While new methods of measuring physiology emerge at a rapid pace, how to understand that information in the context of living cells remains a major challenge. Researchers in the CGSI work collaboratively to understand cellular systems.
