Systems and Integrative Biology
Systems and integrative biology is the study of responses in organs
and organisms, including intact animals. Increased support for research
and training on organs, organisms, and intact animals is crucial
to continued progress in the fight against disease and suffering.
Research and training in systems and integrative biology has declined
over the past two decades while there has been an emphasis in support
of valuable research and training at the cellular and molecular
levels. However, the erosion of support for training and research
in integrative systems is slowing the rate at which fundamental
discoveries made at the cellular level are translated into useful
medical therapies
