TRANSVERSAL PLATFORMS

Systems Biomedicine Unit

Systems Biology is a new approach to biomedical research that seeks to integrate
relevant information on several levels (omic, clinical and socio-environmental). Its im-

pact on the diagnosis, classification and treatment of diseases can be quite significant.
This transfer is expected to lead to the so-called “P4 Medicine” (Predictive, Preventive,

Personalized and Participatory).

It is a transversal subject with a huge potential and future that globally integrates

genomic, proteomic and metabolomic information through bioinformatic tools.

CIBERES therefore promotes the organization of a Systems Biomedicine Unit in col-
laboration with other institutions which allows starting up such research approach.
