Abstract :
The articles in this special section focus on the field of Computational life sciences (CLS). CLS aims to integrate two diverse pillars of modern scientific discovery??the quantitative sciences and life sciences. As it continues to foster interdisciplinary research and development, it will be interesting to see how its flexible computational models and advanced simulation tools will help advance our understanding of the complex biophysical processes, structures, and interactions of the human body and of human diseases to improve our quality of life and extend our years of healthy living.
