Complex diseases such as cancer have multiple origins and are therefore difficult to understand and cure. Highly parallel technologies such as DNA microarrays are now available These provide a data deluge which needs to be tninedfor relevant information and integrated to existing knowledge at different scales. Systems Biology is a recentfield which intends to overcome these challenges by combining different disciplines and provide an analytical framework Sonic of these challenges are discussed in this chapter.
