Systems Biology refers to the integration into biology of ideas and methodologies from mathematics, engineering, computer science, physics, and chemistry, with the goal of deriving greater understanding from data—especially data that are complex, dynamic and/or high-dimensional. Systems biology makes frequent use of explicit, quantitative models, and concerns itself both with how useful models can be derived from data as well as how models can be used to generate hypotheses and drive the collection of new data. Modern biological and biomedical research are becoming increasing reliant on systems biology approaches, yet because the skills and insights necessary to implement such approaches come from so many different disciplines, it can be challenging for researchers to take full advantage of them. The goal of the Systems Biology Core is to enable skin biology researchers to incorporate systems biology in their research, thereby enhancing productivity and increasing research impact. The core will help skin biologists derive more meaningful models from data; build and analyze explicit, quantitative models; use models to interpret, analyze, and integrate data (including data generated by other cores); use models to generate and prioritize testable hypotheses about function; and better understand and utilize literature that draws upon systems biology ideas and approaches. Methodologies to be made available through the Systems Biology Core are especially well suited to building upon data from, and providing input into, the efforts of the imaging and genomics/bioinformatics cores. Strategies for achieving these goals include targeted workshops for skin biologists, inclusion of skin biologists in an annual systems biology retreat, systems biology “clinics” at which skin biologists identify problems in need of attention, and individualized consultation. These strategies leverage the expertise and resources of three systems biology faculty with expertise in modeling and data analysis; long-standing experience in teaching interdisciplinary science; and a track-record of collaboration with skin biologists. It also leverages the infrastructure of a large campus-wide center devoted to systems biology, the Center for Complex Biological Systems.

系统生物学是指从数学的思想和方法的生物学中综合的， 工程，计算机科学，物理和化学，目的是从 数据 - 尤其是复杂，动态和/或高维的数据。系统生物学使频率 使用显式，定量模型，并以数据从数据得出有用的模型来关注自己 以及如何使用模型来生成假设并推动新数据的收集。 现代生物学和生物医学研究变得越来越与系统生物学方法相关， 但是，由于实施此类方法所需的技能和见解来自许多不同的 学科，对于研究人员来说，充分利用它们可能是挑战。系统的目标 生物学核心是使皮肤生物学研究人员能够将系统生物学纳入其研究中，从而 提高生产率并增加研究影响。核心将帮助皮肤生物学家得出更多 来自数据的有意义的模型；构建和分析明确的定量模型；使用模型来解释，分析， 和集成数据（包括其他核心生成的数据）；使用模型生成和优先测试 关于功能的假设；并更好地理解和利用借鉴系统生物学思想的文献 和方法。通过系统生物学核心提供的方法特别好 适用于从成像和成像的努力中构建数据并提供输入的数据 基因组学/生物信息学核心。 实现这些目标的策略包括针对皮肤生物学家的针对性研讨会，包括皮肤 皮肤生物学家识别的年度系统生物学务虚会的生物学家，系统生物学“诊所” 需要注意的问题和个性化的咨询。这些策略利用了专业知识和 具有建模和数据分析专业知识的三个系统生物学教师的资源；长期 教学跨学科科学的经验；以及与皮肤生物学家合作的轨道纪录。也是如此 利用专门用于系统生物学的大型校园中心的基础设施，该中心 生物系统。
