“Harvest™ predicted the responding targets using the pathway knowledge and biological knowledge for our project in just hours compared to the months we used to take using other software. In addition, we compared the predicted result and the experimental result from the labs and found that they are still more than 90% matched. In short, the quicker running time from HarvestTM does not sacrifice the result.” Dr. Feng The future of medicine starts with the ability to create new knowledge out of existing and future data. A system for data collection will enable the rapid advancement of solving these complex diseases. With the rapid advance of modern medicine, scientists have learned that the components of life – genes and proteins - almost never work alone. They interact with each other and with other molecules in highly structured networks. Thus, systems biology, the study of organisms and their systems as a whole, deviates from traditional biology in that it focuses on the entire organism. Systems biology has emerged to meet the need to understand these interactions and networks. The goal of systems biology is to transform biological and medical research by creating and using systems approaches to unravel the working of complex biological systems. The main objective of systems biology is to facilitate the transformation from the current practice of reactive medicine to what is known as P4™ Medicine: Predictive, Preventative, Personalized and Participatory. |
