Human Systems Biology

Meaning

Human Systems Biology is an integrative scientific approach that studies the complex interactions between the various components of the human body—including genetics, biochemistry, endocrinology, and physiology—as a unified, interconnected network rather than isolated parts. It seeks to model the dynamic behavior of the entire system to predict health and disease trajectories. Understanding this integrated function is crucial for appreciating the holistic impact of hormonal fluctuations. This perspective moves beyond reductionism to capture emergent properties of life.
