The Physiome Project Provides
- Databasing of information
- genome, proteome, morphome
- functional behavior of molecules and biological systems
- observations of intact cellular systems, organs, and intact organisms
- Integration and consilience of knowledge
- schema of interactions (descriptive models)
- quantitative descriptions of relationship (casual, statistical, mechanistic)
- computer models of small and large systems
- parameter sets for different cells, tissues, and species
- Network access to databases and models
- platform-independent networked search engines
- platform-independent web operation of models
- access to databases from descriptive and computational models
Welcome to the NSR Physiome Project!
The Physiome Project is the worldwide effort of several loosely connected research groups to define the physiome via databasing and the development of integrated quantitative and descriptive modeling. This work will help determine the future of medicine, change the way we think about human physiology, and strengthen the fabric of international scientific collaboration across political allegiances.
