...Kirschner has cultivated an interdisciplinary community at Harvard in systems biology??a field that brings together biology with engineering, mathematics, computer science, and physics. Kirschner compares systems biology to engineering: “When we ask how an airplane can fly stably in all different kinds of conditions, we are close to the kind of question of how the human body in various environments can also avoid crashing...
...founded in 2004 at the urging of prominent researchers including Professors Douglas A. Melton and David T. Scadden. Neither scientist responded to repeated requests for comment this week.
