Abstract: (733 Views)
The concept of the Physiome Project was presented to provide a quantitative description of the physiological dynamics and functional behavior of the intact organism as a whole. The human body is a complex system, and this complexity is present in all components from genes to environment, lifestyle, and aging. The definitive goal of the Physiome Project is to create a "virtual physiological human" by assembling reliable and advanced computational models so that it can be studied and evaluated with a holistic perspective through system's theory in the laboratory and therapeutic settings. This process is started through the creation of modeling at molecular and cellular levels, and by connecting its components with the help of virtual reality, it will be considered as a connected whole to form a virtual physiological human. To achieve this goal in the Physiome Project, other branches of knowledge along with medical sciences are used as interdisciplinary collaborations. Although this project has had various ups and downs, but in general, it has made acceptable progress in applying different sciences together, and therefore, it seems that the process of the Physiome Project can be used to create a suitable model in the formation of interdisciplinary studies.
