Systems Biology: New Paradigms for Cell Biology and Drug Design

  • Conference paper
Systems Biology

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 61))

Abstract

In this chapter various facets of and approaches to systems biology will be discussed. This then leads to an illustration of how systems biology may be used in drug target design. We present five new paradigms for drug target research and show how these are based in systems biology.
