Systems Biology Adopts an Engineering Framework
Original: How Systems Biology Is Adopting an Engineering Framework
Systems biology is increasingly borrowing methods from engineering, treating cells and biological networks as systems that can be modeled, measured and deliberately designed. The approach emphasizes quantitative models, feedback loops and predictive control of living processes. Supporters say engineering principles could make biology more predictable and reproducible, while skeptics question whether living systems are simple enough to be treated like machines.
Why now: Ongoing debate about whether engineering principles can reliably be applied to complex biological systems
