Systems Medicine Cluster (SyMeC): Accelerating Systems Medicine using a Cluster Approach
Today, medicine is largely reactive.
A medical practitioner treats the illness of a person, with varying levels of
success. With the rise of genomics and the accumulation of large amounts of data on various diseases, a new
systems-based approach to medicine has emerged. Clinical practitioners and researchers are increasingly
realising that our bodies do not work as a set of independent components, but rather as an interacting
system, with genes, proteins, cells and organs interacting with each other and the environment in complex
ways. The understanding of this system will result in a transcendental change in medical practice; from
reactive medicine, based on disease, to a predictive and preventive one centered on health. However, to
effect this transition, complementary multi-domain expertise and experience are necessary.
In conformity with the national priority of stimulating investment in biotechnology, a Biocluster has
been created. The Biocluster is a platform – both intellectual and logistical – for generating required
biological and medical evidence to accelerate systems medicine. The Biocluster comprises six institutions:
• Bose Institute,
• CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology,
• Indian Institute of Science Education & Research,
• Indian Statistical Institute,
• National Institute of Biomedical Genomics,
• Tata Medical Centre;
with the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics serving as the coordinating institution.
