Relational Biology is a branch of Mathematical biophysics and Biomathematics focused on identifying and studying the abstract relations in an organism that make possible its physiological functions. It is therefore, also of the fundamental network connectivities and biotopology charactersitic of hierarchically organized, highly complex biological systems. It is therefore closely related to the fields of Systems biology and Complex Systems Biology, also known as Integrative Biology

Welcome

Welcome! Hello and Welcome to Wikiversity Relational biology! You can contact us with questions at the colloquium or me personally when you need help. Please remember to sign and date your finished comments when participating in discussions. The signature icon above the edit window makes it simple. All users are expected to abide by our Privacy, Civility, and the Terms of Use policies while at Wikiversity. To get started, you may Take a guided tour and learn to edit. Visit a (kind of) random project. Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education. Find out about research activities on Wikiversity. Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left. Read an introduction for teachers and find out how to write an educational resource for Wikiversity. Give feedback about your initial observations. Discuss Wikiversity issues or ask questions at the colloquium. You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --~~~~
