Professor Ernest Fraenkel, MIT: systems biology is the new tool that could help disrupt the cost escalation (exponential increase in the cost of drug development): welcome to the era of biology and big data.

Why do we need systems biology?


"There's still a huge need to be able to measure other aspects of what's going on in the cell. And do very high throughput experiments, so we can cheaply and efficiently test not just one prediction from a model, but thousands of predictions, because one of the challenges of systems biology, is that if we're measuring thousands of things but we're only testing two, three, five, 10, then are we truly testing our models? And usually not, so we need better ways of doing the experimentation as well." Professor Ernest Fraenkel, MIT.





Week 4 (genomics): ex3: 100%; workshop 4: 100%.

  1. Welcome to the era of quantitative biology: how systems biology will help disrupt the exponential increase in the cost of drug development. End of the 20th century: it costs about 1 billion to produce each new drug!
