Theoretische Biologie

Theoretische Biologie, or theoretical biology, is a field that uses mathematical models, computer simulations, and abstract concepts to understand and predict biological systems and processes. It helps scientists grasp complex phenomena like evolution, genetics, and ecology by creating frameworks that explain how living organisms function and interact. Instead of just observing, it aims to develop theories that can be tested and refined, ultimately deepening our understanding of life’s underlying principles. This approach complements experimental biology by providing insights that are difficult to obtain through direct observation alone.
