Systems biology is tasked with creating a model of disease based on associated biological networks. Experimental data from reductionist methods like molecular biology and the omics disciplines are parsed through computational techniques to create models of the pathways that constitute a particular system. If successful, systems biology has the potential to shape our understanding of how biological pathways work and to streamline the R&D process. So we ask you to predict what role this method will have.
