A Network Approach to Human Physiology (IMAGE) American Physical Society Caption Medical practitioners commonly treat organs in isolation, but Boston University physicist Plamen Ivanov wants to usher in a new paradigm.

Ivanov calls the field he's pioneering 'network physiology.' Credit Plamen Ch. Ivanov laboratory Usage Restrictions Journalists may use this image only with appropriate credit.
