Our current interest lies at the intersection of genomic robustness and systems biology. Genomic robustness refers to the ability of an organism to maintain its normal functions despite significant damages to its genetic material. Systems biology considers the interactions and relationships among various components within a complex biological system to make a dynamically robust organism that manages to live within a changing environment.
