About this document
Claude Bernard: Pioneer of Systems Biology by GheucaAlina is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Claude Bernard was the first systems biologist as he conceptualized the constancy of the internal environment (milieu intérieur), implying control processes to achieve homeostasis. 2) Physiologists today need to complement reductionist molecular biology with integrative, multilevel approaches as envisioned by Bernard. 3) Bernard foresaw that applying mathematics to biology would be necessary to understand living systems, an aspect of his work that has been neglected by physiologists.
