Abstract: Systems biology is the new branch of biology which is developed recently as a result of the Human Genome Project. It helps in decoding the various systems in biology by studying different genes, proteins and pathways and ultimately making their computerized models to learn how they react differently to different drugs. So, by studying systems we can design medicines for individuals according to their susceptibility rate and response time to different drugs. In near future, personalized
