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. 606 $aBiology$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aBiology$xResearch$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aInterdisciplinary research$zUnited States 615 0$aBiology$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aBiology$xResearch$xHistory. 615 0$aInterdisciplinary research 676 $a570.72 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792440603321 996 $aA new biology for the 21st century$93686532 997 $aUNINA
