Eric Schadt, one of the few scientists combining mathematics, biology and supercomputers to study human biology, suggests that mechanisms of human diseases are far more complex than anticipated. In the beginning, scientists characterize a single cause for common diseases like cancer and heart disease. Some drugs developed at treating that gene is effective, but it turns out that common diseases involve thousands of genes and proteins interacting on complex pathways.
