It is a holistic approach to deciphering the complexity of computational biology systems that starts from the understanding that the networks that form the whole of living organisms are more than the sum of their parts.  It is collaborative, integrating many scientific disciplines – biology, computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, physics and others – to predict how these systems change over time and under varying conditions, and to develop solutions to the world’s most pressing health and environmental issues. Systems biology is an approach in environmental chemistry to understanding the larger picture—be it at the level of the organism, tissue, or cell—by putting its pieces together.  It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research Systems biology is the study of biological systems whose behaviour cannot be reduced to the linear sum of their parts’ functions.
