Systems Biology

Abstract

The core capability for multidisciplinary applied research in systems biology enables integration and analysis of complex data from human and animal studies and development of computational network models, allowing researchers to differentiate among molecular signatures (unique combinations of biological molecules corresponding to clinical conditions) of disease, and supports transition of research to clinical applications for diseases of military relevance. Applied research is being conducted to identify biological networks that are causative of illness in PTSD and co-morbidities (presence of one or more diseases or disorders), coagulopathy (impaired ability to clot blood) of trauma, traumatic brain injury, pain, suicide, infectious disease, and immune responses. In particular, the studies of PTSD are directed to refine biomarkers for screening, early diagnosis and therapeutic target discovery.
