- Network biology connects the dots for human healthNetworks form the backbone of transportation infrastructure, communication systems, and even the neurons in our brains. When computational scientists map data points into networks—quite literally connecting the dots—the patterns they reveal can provide significant insights. In network biology, computational and biological scientists collaborate to find the patterns in abundant and complex molecular and biomedical data. They use graph algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to model biological mechanisms, including those underlying cancer and aging. “Similar to a car manual, networks show you the relationship between the parts,” said Tijana Milenkovic, network biology expert and Frank M. Freimann Collegiate Professor of Engineering in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. “You see how each part of a biological system—gene, protein, neuron—contributes to the system’s overall performance and what happens if a part fails or is removed.” In a paper published in Bioinformatics Advances, Milenkovic and 36 other researchers from over 25 universities and labs chart a comprehensive roadmap for network biology’s current state and future directions.
