Description
Reaction networks provide a framework for representing the structural form of dynamical systems. While traditionally used in systems biology and biochemistry to describe molecular interactions, the mathematical principles of reaction networks are increasingly applied across various fields such as cell biology, ecology, epidemiology, and environmental science. By viewing entities—be they molecules, organisms, or system components—as species within a formal interaction network, one can apply rigorous kinetic and stochastic methods to identify system properties. Through a range of applications, this minisymposium demonstrates how the formal language of species and its interactions provides a unifying approach for understanding the stability and behavior of complex systems.
