Systems biology is an approach that studies biological systems as a whole by considering the interactions between their parts. It uses techniques like genomics to understand complex systems like the human body. The document discusses how systems engineering principles can be applied to systems biology to better understand biological systems in a structured, top-down way by starting with requirements and working through concepts, designs, and testing, similar to how engineered systems are developed and analyzed. The human body plan in particular can be understood as logically derived from basic biological requirements for survival.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- My carreer was spent working on “inanimate” sys, but always had interest in biology – esp bio-med research
- On a trip to Wa a couple years ago, discovered this organization Sys bio naturally caught my interets Went to web site to learn more Being retired, had the time Found this definiton Found site very interesitng, but wasn’t clear exactly how sys bio worked Visited other sites, began for form opinion that sys engn could assit sys bio
- Need is rearely well defined – must gen a list of requirements While requirements are generated, create test plan – all requirements must be testable and have a specific test After requirements, determine if there is a concept that will satisfy requirements. During cocept definition, gen many docs hierarchical diags identify elements block diagrams show hoe elements interconnect data flow diags show how info moves thru system and how control functions analyses and simulatio investigate dynamical aspects of system Assuming a reasonable concept, proceed to a design – gen fab/assy/parts lists After design complete, fab prototype Then proceed to test
- Can work the process in reverse – beginning with completed system for which one wants to know how built etc Begin by conducting tests and dissasembling – gen drawings Try to understand what designer had in mind Try to determine what the requirements were that drove the concept/design
- Much bio research is reverse engineering Change dissassembly to dissection Change fab/assy dwngs to anatomical dwngs Modern research adided by wide and growing variety test equipment/proceedures Design approach is “sticky wicket” , some believe supernatural being is designer, I beleive trial and error
- Relation between system hierarchy and bio sys hierarchy
- Diagrams anatomically oriented are necessary, but block diagrams assist in showing how bio sys function
- Can use forward version of sys engng to gain unique insights
- To illustrate some of the principles, will show how can use fwd engng in bio sys to deduce some basic aspects of human behaviour and the human body plan. Simplistic, but I think it will be interesting and perhaps informative – no new data, but a different way of viewing
- Not objective to engage in controvesy – just want to show how req analysis can lead to interesting areas
- “cartoon” block diagram showing placement of all but locomotion system We know from direct obs that most suys are contained in torso – see how requirements shows how they are arranged and why
- BCS made of two sys, chem messenger communicates via special molecules – hormones that operate on receptors Nervous sys communicates via electrical impulses sent over special cells – neaurons Diagram created as shown since there are similarites between chem msngr and brain: neuro transmitters very sim to hormones
- Must place environmental sensors in juxtapostion to brain since are high bandwidth 2 eyes and ears – 1 not enough, 3 too many
- Need locomotion system to satisfy requirement for food in Two arms – 1 not enough, 3 too many
- Human body plan is not accidental – but quite logocal. There are some sub optimum aspects, but these are reasonable compromises. If we ever meet extra terrestrial intelligent beings, they will look basically like us
- How I got interested Brief results of inquiries -> sys engng should be able to help Brief over view sys engng Examples
- $ billions are being spent to eliminate heart disease, cure cancer, etc. Unless these are fools errands, the end reult is elemination of the causes of death. Kurz and grossman beleive that at current pace of bio-med research, this is going to happen sooner than we beleive – so need to live long enough. On the other hand, there are those who worry about this
