The talk is aimed first at studying some important aspects of the plasticity and complexity of biological systems and their links.
We shall further investigate the relationship between the topological organization and dynamics of chroamtin and chromosome, the
regulatory proteins networks, and the mechanisms of genetic expression. Our final goal is to show the need for new scientific and
theoretical approaches to the life sciences. In this respect, we think that in the near future, research in biology has to shift
drastically from a genetic and molecular approach to an epigenetic and organismal approach, particularly by studying the network
of interactions among gene pathways, the formation and dynamics of chromatin structures, and how environmental (intra- and
extracellular) conditions may affect the response and evolution of cells and living systems.
