Abstract

Complex diseases such as cancer have multiple origins and are therefore difficult to understand and cure. Highly parallel technologies such as DNA microarrays are now available. These provide a data deluge which needs to be mined for relevant information and integrated to existing knowledge at different scales. Systems Biology is a recent field which intends to overcome these challenges by combining different disciplines and provide an analytical framework. Some of these challenges are discussed in this chapter.
