The Centre for Organismal Systems Biology (COSB) aims to explain how high-level properties of complex organisms arise from the interactions among their constituent parts. This common scientific goal is approached through the integrated study of temporal and structural organisation, of the dynamics of physiological, developmental, and evolutionary processes, and of the neuronal, mental, social, and environmental information flows in organismal systems.
The Centre for Organismal Systems Biology (COSB) unites seven departments devoted to research in organismal biology through the shared interest in understanding organisms as complex systems.
The Centre for Organismal Systems Biology (COSB) is involved in the following key research areas:
