The National Cancer Institute Announces a New Initiative In Systems Biology - Integrative Cancer Biology Program |
|---|
The goal of this initiative is to promote the analysis of cancer as a complex biological system, with the ultimate goal of developing reliably predictive computational models of various cancer processes, facilitating the development of cancer interventions. This will be achieved through the integration of experimental and computational approaches towards the understanding of cancer biology. This initiative will encourage the emergence of integrative cancer biology as a distinct field by establishing research programs in integrative cancer biology, which bring together cancer biologists and scientists from fields such as mathematics, physics, information technology, imaging sciences, and computer science to work on a common cancer biology problem. |
