Re: systems biology

Tim,

It seems to me that it is clear that the systems
biology is to overcome the reductionism in molecular
biology by viewing the processes in a cell as systems
of interactions much in similar way to view what's
inside Boeing 777. 

See a company below doing systems biology and got lots
of funding and investment. What do you anticipate that
company?

P.S. The loss of lossing Pattee in this list is
unmeasurable.  Criticism is neccessary for scientific
advance.  I see Pattee's contribution as constructive
and healthy scientific discourse.
