Title: Re: Low Dose Research Program

A quote from Lee Hood (the leader of the team which developed the first automated DNA sequencer -- a piece of technology integral to the success of the Human Genome Project) regarding the new "systems biology" which appeared in an interview in MIT's September 2001 issue of Technology Review caught my attention:

 

" ...researchers mix lab work with computer modeling and eschew highly focused and hypothesis-driven experiments in favor of the factory style approach typified by the genome project itself..."

 

Reviewing the 45 abstracts (http://lowdose.org/research.html#abstracts) presented at the Low Dose Research Program June 2001 workshop reveals what appears to me to be a "systems biology" approach.
