生物学是一门多层次的学科，它的方法论可以利用化学、物理、计算机、数学甚至工程学。高研院创立了组学与大数据中心，为研究动植物尤其是非模型生物中基因组学、转录组学、翻译组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学等创造了条件。组学与大数据中心也在积极地招募化学家，为生物医学和农业领域发现新的天然或合成的小分子。

　　Biology is a multifaceted discipline with methodologies that draw on chemistry, physics, computation, mathematics, and even engineering. IAS founded the TOC to create resources for studying genomics, transcriptomics, translatomics, proteomics, and metabolomics of both animals and plants, primarily in non-model organisms. TOC is also actively recruiting chemists to discover novel natural and synthetic small molecules for translational studies in both biomedicine and agriculture.
