Developmental Biology
Definition of Developmental Biology as it relates to Science, Genetics, Systems Biology
Developmental biology is an interdisciplinary field of study focused on understanding how complex organisms arise from single cells through dynamic processes such as cell division, differentiation, and morphogenesis. This discipline explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying developmental programs, making it a natural fit within systems biology. By applying quantitative and computational approaches to decipher regulatory networks, developmental biologists aim to elucidate emergent properties of developing systems. Thus, this subfield contributes significantly to our understanding of how genes interact with each other and their environment during the formation of biological structures and organisms.
