Systems Biology

DEPARTMENT

The CNB Systems Biology (SysBio) Department figures in the contemporary landscape by developing active research lines in environmental genomics, network biology, systemic computation and metabolic engineering. This framework (which many consider a veritable paradigm shift) seeks to address the complexity of living systems as such, not to divide them into smaller parts (at difference from the reductionism of molecular biology). Systems biology offers remarkable scientific and technological potential for the field of biomedicine and for industrial, agricultural and environmental biotechnology.
