The actual status of quantitative approaches in Biology: problems and perspectives.
Biomedical sciences are traversing a ``reproducibility crisis'': it is estimated that more than 85% of basic research results in cancer research [25] are not replicable, and similar figures hold for other investigation fields. The urgent need of rethinking the quantitative approach to biol...

| Summary: | Biomedical sciences are traversing a ``reproducibility crisis'': it is estimated that more than 85% of basic research results in cancer research [25] are not replicable, and similar figures hold for other investigation fields. The urgent need of rethinking the quantitative approach to biology is evident, here I try to enucleate the roots of the problem and sketch some possible solutions with a particular emphasis on complex network approaches |
