A new approach to modeling complex biological systems

Douglas Lauffenburger | Via MIT | November 5, 2024

MIT engineers’ new model could help researchers glean insights from genomic data and other huge datasets.

Over the past two decades, new technologies have helped scientists generate a vast amount of biological data. Large-scale experiments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cytometry can produce enormous quantities of data from a given cellular or multicellular system.

However, making sense of this information is not always easy. This is especially true when trying to analyze complex systems such as the cascade of interactions that occur when the immune system encounters a foreign pathogen… Continue reading.
