Systems biomedicine

Systems biomedicine, also called systems biomedical science,

organ, individual/genotype, environmental factor, population, ecosystem) by discovering and selecting the key factors at each level and integrating them into models that reveal the global, emergent behavior

of the biological process under consideration.

Such an approach will be favorable when the execution of all the experiments necessary to establish exhaustive models is limited by time and expense (e.g., in animal models) or basic ethics (e.g., human experimentation).

In the year of 1992, a paper on system biomedicine by Kamada T. was published (Nov.-Dec.), and an article on systems medicine and pharmacology by Zeng B.J. was also published (April) in the same time period.[3] In 2009, the first collective book on systems biomedicine was edited by Edison T. Liu and Douglas A. Lauffenburger.^[4]

In October 2008, one of the first research groups uniquely devoted to systems biomedicine was established at the

Oregon Health and Science University

.

The first peer-reviewed journal on this topic, Systems Biomedicine, was recently established by Landes Bioscience.
