abstract

  • One of the goals of systems-biology research is to discover networks and interactions by integrating diverse data sets. So far, systems-biology research has focused on model organisms, which are well characterized and therefore suited to testing new methods. Systems biology has great potential for use in the search for therapies for disease. Here, the potential of systems-biology approaches in the search for new drugs and vaccines to treat malaria is examined.
