Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) is a non-profit research institution located in Seattle, Washington, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.systemsbiology.org/ )〕 The ISB concentrates on systems biology, the study of relationships and interactions between various parts of biological systems, and advocates an interdisciplinary approach to biological research. ==Goals== Systems biology attempts to study biological systems in a holistic manner by integrating data at all levels of the biological information hierarchy, from global down to the individual organism, and below down to the molecular level. The vision of ISB has been to integrate these concepts using a cross-disciplinary approach combining the efforts of biologists, chemists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and physicians.〔 On its website, ISB has defined four areas of focus:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.systemsbiology.org/research )〕 * P4 Medicine - This acronym refers to predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory medicine, which focuses on wellness rather than the mere treatment of disease. * Global Health - Use of the systems approach towards the study of infectious diseases, vaccine development, emergence of chronic diseases, and maternal and child health. * Sustainable Environment - Applying systems biology for a better understanding of the role of microbes in the environment and their relation to human health. * Education & Outreach - Knowledge transfer to society through a variety of educational programs and partnerships, including the spinout of new companies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for Systems Biology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
