Systems Biologists

Systems biologists study living organisms by examining how all their parts—genes, proteins, cells—interact as interconnected systems rather than in isolation. They use mathematical models and computational tools to understand the complex networks that govern biological functions, health, and disease. By taking a holistic approach, systems biologists aim to uncover how changes in one part can affect the whole organism, leading to more precise treatments and advances in medicine, biotechnology, and biology. Essentially, they see life as an interconnected web, seeking to understand the big picture of biological processes.
