A Systems Biology Approach to Infectious Disease Research: Innovating the Pathogen-Host Research Paradigm

ABSTRACT The twentieth century was marked by extraordinary advances in our understanding of microbes and infectious disease, but pandemics remain, food and waterborne illnesses are frequent, multidrug-resistant microbes are on the rise, and the needed drugs and vaccines have not been developed. The...
