Research in systems biology requires the collaboration of
researchers from diverse backgrounds, including biology,
computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and bio-
chemistry. These collaborations, necessary because of the
enormous breadth of background needed for research in this
field, can be hindered by differing understandings of the limi-
tations and applicability of techniques and concerns from dif-
ferent disciplines. prehensive introduction and
overview of system modeling in biology makes the relevant
background material from all pertinent fields accessible to
The MIT Press researchers with different backgrounds.
