Systems approachSystems approach
Systems Biology is a new approach to studying animals, plants and microbes that combines theory, computer modelling and experiments.
It is revolutionising how bioscientists work; and will make the outputs of research more useful, and easier to use in industry and policymaking.
We support world class research and training in systems biology through a range of mechanisms and facilitate international partnerships for the benefit of UK science in this area.
We are a partner in the European Research Area Network ERASysBio, a transnational initiative to support the convergence of life sciences with information technology and systems science.
Through Exploiting Systems Biology LINK we have funded a project studying the regulatory network controlling tomato ripening. It is being carried out jointly with the Royal Holloway, University of London and Syngenta at the BBSRC/EPSRC Centre for Systems Biology at the University of Nottingham.
