SystemsX. ch has the objective of supporting and promoting the paradigm shift in life sciences research, moving from qualitative to quantitative and predictive biology. The Swiss government has invested CHF 220 million in around 250 interdisciplinary projects involving more than 400 research groups since 2008. Almost half of the projects are designed for PhD students and postdocs to train the next generation of systems biologists. The initiative will conclude in 2018; different measures will ensure its sustainable impact.
SystemsX.ch的目标是支持和推动生命科学研究中的范式转变,从定性生物学转向定量和预测生物学。自2008年以来,瑞士政府已投资2.2亿瑞士法郎用于约250个跨学科项目,涉及400多个研究小组。几乎一半的项目是为博士生和博士后设计的,以培养下一代系统生物学家。该倡议将于2018年结束;不同的措施将确保其可持续影响。
