چکیده
Systems biology promises to personalize medicine via network-based biomarkers that predict therapeutic effectiveness. Toward this goal, Chang et al. (2009) recently introduced a systems-based approach to break down oncogenic signaling networks into modules that predict the effectiveness of pathway-specific therapeutics.

What is Systems Biology?
Systems biology is increasingly popular, but to many biologists it remains unclear what this new discipline actually encompasses. This brief personal perspective starts by outlining the asthetic qualities that motivate systems biologists, discusses which activities do not belong to the core of systems biology, and finally explores the crucial link with synthetic biology. It concludes by attempt...
متن کاملPOSTER–TRIPLEX: Verifying Data Minimisation in Communication Systems
Systems dealing with personal information are legally required to satisfy the principle of data minimisation. Privacy-enhancing protocols use cryptographic primitives to minimise the amount of personal information exposed by communication. However, the complexity of these primitives and their interplay makes it hard for noncryptography experts to understand the privacy implications of their use...
متن کاملComputational Challenges of Personal Genomics
It is widely predicted that cost and efficiency gains in sequencing will usher in an era of personal genomics and personalized, predictive, preventive, and participatory medicine within a decade. I review the computational challenges ahead and propose general and specific directions for research and development. There is an urgent need to develop semantic ontologies that span genomics, molecula...
متن کاملA Secure Email Infrastructure for Computationally Weak Clients
Security in email systems involves computationally expensive public key cryptography operations. This makes it difficult to deploy secure email systems for computationally weak environments, such as personal digital assistants. To solve this problem, we have developed a secure framework in which computationally weak clients can use a trusted server to perform difficult cryptographic operations ...
متن کاملExperience and experiment in biology.
"Experiment versus Experience": if I had had to give this talk in French, I could not even have phrased the title as I did. For "experience" in French stands for both experience and experiment. And yet there is a fundamental difference between the two./Experience means familiarity with happenings in · he world. It is our cumulative record o; store of judgments and suppositions, which we have fo...
