Relational Biology is a branch of Mathematical biophysics and Biomathematics focused on identifying and studying the abstract relations in an organism that make possible its physiological functions. It is therefore, also of the fundamental network connectivities and biotopology charactersitic of hierarchically organized, highly complex biological systems. It is therefore closely related to the fields of Systems biology and Complex Systems Biology, also known as Integrative Biology
