This collective monograph aims at contributing to an improved
understanding of the epistemic presumptions, sociocultural
implications and historically backgrounds of the newly emerging and
currently expanding approach of systems biology. In doing so, it
offers empirically grounded, valuable and reflexive information
about a paradigmatic shift in the biosciences for a wide range of
scientists working in the interdisciplinary areas of systems
biology, synthetic biology, molecular biology, biology, the
philosophy of science, the sociology of science and scientific
knowledge, science and technology studies, technology assessment
and the like. The authors of this monograph share the theoretical
methodological premise that science is a culturally and socially
embedded practice which characterizes our culture as a scientific
one and at the same time draws its innovative potential from its
socio-cultural context. This dialectic relationship lies at the
heart of the current development of systems biology which is
conceived as a so-called successor of '-omics' research and
triggered by high-throughput information technologies. At the same
time a need for a holistic conceptualization of complex biological
processes emerges. The title Contextualizing Systems Biology
suggests that this book analyzes the development and advent of
systems biology from different theoretical and methodological
perspectives. We investigate a variety of contexts ranging from the
analysis of cognitive contexts (such as basic theoretical concepts)
to regulative contexts (policies) to the concrete application of a
systems biology in the socio-scientific context of a European
research project. In empirically analyzing these different and
interrelated layers and dimensions of systems biology, the scope of
the book goes beyond present attempts to investigate the advent of
new approaches in the biological sciences as it frames and assesses
systems biology from an interdisciplinary and integrated
perspective.
