Description
Systems biology is a vigorous and expanding discipline, in many ways a successor to genomics and perhaps unprecedented in its combination
of biology with a great many other sciences, from physics to ecology, from mathematics to medicine, and from philosophy to chemistry.
Studying the philosophical foundations of systems biology may resolve a longer standing issue, i.e., the extent to which Biology is
entitled to its own scientific foundations rather than being dominated by existing philosophies.
Audience:
Computational biologists, Molecular biologists, Cellular biologists, Systems biologists, Bioinformaticians, Philosophers of Science, Philosophers of Biology
