Systems Biology Viewpoint

Meaning

The Systems Biology Viewpoint is a clinical and scientific paradigm that interprets human physiology not as a collection of isolated organs or pathways, but as an integrated, complex network of interacting components—genes, proteins, metabolites, and hormones. This perspective emphasizes the dynamic relationships and feedback loops that govern health and disease, recognizing that a perturbation in one system will cascade throughout the entire network. It necessitates a holistic, data-driven approach to diagnosis and intervention, moving beyond single-target therapeutics.
