Synopsis

This book introduces network medicine, a new field applying systems biology to human diseases. It explores how multifactorial influences and non-linear effects drive disease, utilizing 'Omics' data and graph theory for analysis. The text discusses how this approach will transform disease treatment, moving towards coordinated manipulation of multiple molecular targets, and outlines current progress and remaining challenges in integrating diverse data types and performing network analyses.
