ERASysBio - Towards A European Research Area for Systems Biology
November 5, 2008 by hikaru2000
Systems biology will have obvious applications in medicine, such as in the rational design of pharmaceuticals, especially those involving several different molecular targets. It will also help in the development of drugs specific to small groups of people or even individuals, made possible by new insights from genome research. Outside medicine, systems biology is likely to have a big impact on agriculture and biotechnology and is expected to be a major contributor to Europe’s industrial future.
ERASysBio initiative - a consortium of funding bodies, ministries and project management agencies. The mission is to carry out fundamental and strategic collaboration in the funding of systems approaches to biological research.
