By many parameters, chemistry is a central science that interfaces several disciplines with overlapping borders to a different extension to each one of them. On the other hand, systems biology became a new concept to a holistic approach to understanding life. One of the overlapping borders between chemistry and biology is bioanalytical chemistry that could be considered the analytical tools and methods to provide the data necessary in systems biology. In this chapter, we will explore further this concept of analytical chemistry for life sciences to the point that we could consider as bioanalytical systems! We will also make a brief introduction to the critical elements of this exciting field, such as the omics sciences and high-resolution, high-throughput instrumentation, keeping in mind that other chapters in this book will go deeper into the analytical techniques and methods. |
