Microfluidics technology for systems biology research.
Systems biology is a discipline seeking to understand the emergent behavior of a biological system by integrative modeling of the interactions of the molecular elements. The success of the approach relies on the quality of the biological data. In this chapter, we discuss how a systems biology laboratory can apply microfluidics technology to acquire comprehensive, systematic, and quantitative data for their modeling needs.
