SMHS is premised on holistic traditional Chinese medical views and systems biology approaches to address health issues. Research carried out in the Institute will involve and integrate data from molecules, cells, as well as studies of both structure and dynamics of interacting nodes, forming networks at multiple levels of a multidimensional matrix, including molecular, cellular, organ, person, family, community, society, and environment. We propose a holistic approach that encourages researchers, healthcare educators, Chinese medicine practitioners, clinicians and healthcare leaders to consider a more systems-based view of the individual (as an environmentally-influenced, complex biological system). When aggregated, such personal information may better explain population diversity (and population medicine), and thereby, help achieve more accurate diagnostic, efficacious therapeutic outcomes for all.
