Computational models in systems biology and a case study of radiation biology

Abstract

Computational models in systems biology and a case study of radiation biology Tetsuya SAKASHITA Systems biology has been developed to understand a huge and complicated biological system. Various models were proposed for this research field. Here, I briefly describe the current knowledge of systems biology with a scope of calculation model. Recently, an international research group was established¹⁾, and the feasibility of the systems biology in the research field of radiation biology has been discussed, especially in the theoretical and experimental problems. A case study of radiation biology is reviewed^{[2, 3]}. Finally, I want to discuss the potential of systems biology in radiation biology.
