Elucidating Life With Systems Biology – Bayer’s scientists use cutting edge camera technologies to analyze effects on weed in #3D phenotyping operations To understand the processes involved in life, it is not enough to describe individual biological mechanisms. What is needed is a holistic view of the organism to understand how these fit together. This is the objective of systems biology. It differs fundamentally from the current experimental approach to science used in biological research. Usually, a research project begins with a hypothesis which it then attempts to confirm or disprove. Systems biology turns this approach around; here, the data and the patterns they make lead the scientists to their hypotheses. Experts also call this non-hypothesis-driven research. Systems biology aims to observe all molecules in a cell and their interactions over time. It also describes interactions between cells that are locked together in different tissues, as well as their interactions in organs and the organism as a whole. This mammoth task can only be resolved with a combination of state-of-the-art molecular biology, mathematical modeling and the computing power of supercomputers. Researchers from the most varied of disciplines – mathematics, bioinformatics, chemistry, biology and IT – are therefore working closely together in this project.
