Abstract: (CIT): There is an increasing need to understand how molecules and the interactions between them determine the function of the cell's enormously complex machinery. Rapid advances in network biology indicate that cellular networks are governed by universal laws, offering a new conceptual framework that could potentially help us gain a better understanding of biology and disease pathologies in the twenty-first century. Dr. Barabasi will review some advances in this direction, from the emergence of scale-free networks in biological systems to the robustness conferred by these architectural elements to cellular networks. He will talk about the human disease network, or the 'diseasome', and its implications to understanding the interplay between the cell's network organization and the selection for Mendelian diseases.
