A New Biology for the 21st Century recommends that a "New Biology" approach--one that depends on greater integration within biology, and closer collaboration with physical, computational, and earth scientists, mathematicians and engineers--be used to find solutions to four key societal needs: sustainable food production, ecosystem restoration, optimized biofuel production, and improvement in human health. The approach calls for a coordinated effort to leverage resources across the federal, private, and academic sectors to help meet challenges and improve the return on life science research in general."--Publisher's description.BiologyResearchMethodologyBiologyResearchUnited StatesHistoryInterdisciplinary researchUnited StatesBiologyResearchMethodology.BiologyResearchHistory.Interdisciplinary research570.72National Research Council (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792440603321A new biology for the 21st century3686532UNINA
