Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [ a ] Computational systems biology [ b ] [ 1 ] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms , data structures , visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems.
Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems.It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research.
[citation needed] For this reason, biological systems engineers are becoming integral parts of many environmental engineering firms, federal agencies, and biotechnology industries. A biological systems engineer will often address the solution to a problem from the perspective of employing living systems to enact change.
In this way, power-law models have a higher flexibility to reproduce the non-linearity of biochemical systems. Models using power-law expansions have been used during the last 35 years to model and analyze several kinds of biochemical systems including metabolic networks, genetic networks and recently in cell signalling.
Biosimulation is becoming increasingly important for drug development. [1] Since on average only 11% of all drug candidates are approved, [2] it is anticipated that biosimulation may be the tool to predict whether a candidate drug will fail in the development process e.g. in clinical trials due to adverse side effects, bad pharmacokinetics or even toxicity.
Different models of 3D printing tissue and organs. Three dimensional (3D) bioprinting is the use of 3D printing–like techniques to combine cells, growth factors, bio-inks, and biomaterials to fabricate functional structures that were traditionally used for tissue engineering applications but in recent times have seen increased interest in other applications such as biosensing, and ...
Biocybernetics is the application of cybernetics to biological science disciplines such as neurology and multicellular systems. Biocybernetics plays a major role in systems biology, seeking to integrate different levels of information to understand how biological systems function.
An organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is a multi-channel 3-D microfluidic cell culture, integrated circuit (chip) that simulates the activities, mechanics and physiological response of an entire organ or an organ system. [1] [2] It constitutes the subject matter of significant biomedical engineering research, more precisely in bio-MEMS.
