A strategy for integrative computational physiology.

Organ function (the heart beat for example) can only be understood through knowledge of molecular and cellular processes within the constraints of structure-function relations at the tissue level. A quantitative modeling framework that can deal with these multiscale issues is described here under the banner of the International Union of Physiological Sciences Physiome Project.
