The '''Institute for Systems Biology''' (ISB) is a [[non-profit]] research institution, located in [[Seattle, Washington]], [[United States]]. [[Leroy Hood]] co-founded the Institute with [[Alan Aderem]] and [[Ruedi Aebersold]] in 2000.
As its name suggests, the ISB concentrates on [[systems biology]], the study of relationships and interactions between various parts of biological systems. The ISB is also notable for advocating an [[interdisciplinary]] approach to biological research.
The ISB has been involved in several high-profile research projects, including the [[NHLBI]] Seattle Proteome Center and the Center for Inquiry Science.
In late 2005, the ISB began to emphasize the application of systems biology to P4 medicine, the development of techniques for predicting and preventing disease, possibly before the patient knows they are "sick."
