Systems-Based Medicine
A systems-based understanding of diseases will be required to prepare the way for new type of personalised and preventive medicine. Systems-based approaches - involving the integration of genomic, molecular and physiological/clinical data - are equipped to address the complexity of disorders and to understand the interplay of genetic and environmental factors impacting on human health.
Explore Challenges →Emerging Health Threats
Diseases related to ageing societies will result in increased healthcare costs causing fundamental threats to the global economic stability. Globalisation of travel, human and animal mobility has been a benefit to society but it can also be the basis for the transfer of pathogens or their vectors into new regions.
View Roadmap →Join the Global Research Initiative
In order to support a systems-based-understanding of diseases, the establishment of a new research framework that integrates and coordinates current lead initiatives is required.
