Systems Biology: Integrating Omics for Precision Health

Abstract

Author(s): Dr. S. Mehta*

Systems biology integrates diverse ’omics’ data and computational modeling to holistically understand complex biological systems. It helps design personalized treatments for cancer, understand aging, unravel metabolic perturbations, and improve drug discovery for inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. This approach clarifies host-microbiome interactions, transforms immune response understanding, and advances precision medicine through drug repositioning and predictive modeling for chronic conditions. Ultimately, it provides foundational knowledge for engineering new biotechnologies, fostering innovative solutions across health and disease.
