What is Lyfe? Towards a Biology of Context and Complexity

Explore a groundbreaking perspective on biology in this thought-provoking lecture by SFI External Professor Brandon Ogbunu from Yale University. Delve into the concept of "Lyfe," a multidimensional approach to understanding biological systems that goes beyond traditional genomics. Examine how this new framing incorporates the influence of history, context, environment, nonlinearity, and narrative in biological processes. Discover how the age of genomics has revolutionized biological and biomedical research, while also highlighting the limitations and misconceptions that have arisen. Gain insights into the complexities of disease, the origin of species, and the origins of life through this innovative lens. Challenge conventional thinking and explore a more holistic understanding of biology that embraces context and complexity.
