Systems Biology Applied to Cancer Research

Complex diseases such as cancer have multiple origins and are therefore difficult to understand and cure. Highly parallel technologies such as DNA microarrays are now available These provide a data deluge which needs to be tninedfor relevant information and integrated to existing knowledge at different scales. Systems Biology is a recentfield which intends to overcome these challenges by combining different disciplines and provide an analytical framework Sonic of these challenges are discussed in this chapter.
