Systems and Synthetic Biology
Systems biologists rely on both quantitative experiments and computational modeling to understand how the molecular components of cells (such as genes and proteins) determine higher-level behaviors (proliferation or migration, for example). Ultimately, systems biology can be used to identify drug targets, develop personalized therapies, and determine design principles to control cellular behavior or optimize production.
