The Giome Concept
GIOME is a completely new concept in gastroenterology based on the human Physiome project originally proposed by James Bassingthwaighte in 1995. The purpose of the GIOME project is to facilitate integrative modeling of physiological and pathophysiological processes in the gastrointestinal tract and sharing of data, ideas and designs generated by gastroenterologists worldwide.
The Physiome Project is a worldwide effort to define the physiome through the development of databases and models which will facilitate the understanding of the integrative function of cells, organs, and organisms.
