The mission of ISB is to provide global leadership in systems biology research, technology development, and the translation of research into promising medical breakthroughs to revolutionize the practice of medicine, to eradicate diseases, and to enhance the quality of human life. Systems biology is the study of biological systems as a whole. Instead of analyzing individual components of a system – genes or proteins – systems biology analyzes an entire system such as the immune response by tracking connections between genes, proteins, and a system’s behavior. Systems biology will have a profound effect on the practice of medicine, making it possible not just to react to a disease that is already present, but also to predict and even prevent its onset. In just ten years, ISB has grown to almost 300 staff members, including 13 faculty members and their laboratory groups. Building a new kind of research institute – one that can tackle the multi-disciplinary challenges of systems biology – requires a strategy that itself integrates many sciences including biology, chemistry, physics, computation, mathematics, and medicine. Because the field of systems biology requires the seamless integration of these disciplines, ISB has developed a philosophy, an environment, and an administrative structure that transcends traditional organizational and disciplinary barriers. Scientists collaborate across their specialties to leverage knowledge and expertise with others at ISB and in academia and industry. ISB’s administrative infrastructure collaborates across departments to create a supportive environment for this progressive research model. ISB is also unique and progressive in its commitment to science education. Through the Center for Inquiry Science, ISB has become a major resource for Washington State educators in bringing inquiry-based science to the K-12 grades – enabling schools and districts to have the capacity to produce scientifically literate and capable students.
