Abstract

Systems Biology is the study of biological systems (such as a cell or a human) considering that they are formed by interacting elements (such as proteins, genes, and metabolites). It is the natural evolution of molecular biology, especially as high-throughput technologies produce quantitatively untreatable results. More importantly, the current understanding of human pathophysiology underlines that essentially important diseases, such as cancer and metabolic diseases, cannot be fully addressed by traditional reductionist approaches. Anaxomics implements Systems Biology through TPMS, a top-down approach which mathematically models human physiology by integrating the known information about the functional interactome with our customers' and partners' own data, and with a focus on clinical translation. We will present several cases where the application of TPMS has led to significant advances in private and public research in the fields of biomarker discovery, drug repositioning, identification of drug or disease targets, and elucidation of molecular mechanisms.
