MODELING BIOMEDICAL SYSTEMS As used in this website, Biomedical Systems refer to networks of molecular interactions that determine or influence the physiology of cells, tissues, organs, and ultimately the health of the organism.  It is my hope that by integrating and analyzing these complex networks we could begin to understand the normal operational states of an individual and the perturbations that lead to abnormal or diseased conditions.  The modeling of these biomedical systems require two major tasks, namely, (1) the integration of massive amounts of data on genetic and biochemical interactions in cells and organisms, and (2) the development of computational and mathematical tools for analyzing these data for the purpose of creating dynamical models that allow us to simulate a biological system in silico.    I think the current Omics revolution will soon be followed by breakthroughs in the way we understand how life emerges from these very complex molecular networks. The research and educational sections are recommended starting points for exploring this website.
