Systems medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary biomedical field that bridges research and personalizes clinical care.
In medicine, complex computational tools are becoming essential in deriving personalized assessments of disease risk and management, including individualized diagnoses, prognoses and treatment options. This change, involving the analysis of enormous quantities of data, will require a new type of physician and biomedical scientist: one with a grasp of modern computational sciences, “-omic” technologies, and a systems approach to medicine.
