The Physiome Project seeks to facilitate the exchange of information among the research community and to "speed up the discovery of how biological systems work." By acting as a central repository for data and computational models, the project hopes to advance the study of the physiome for the benefit of the scientific community. Along with a description of the physiome and the project, the Web site will include various databases and models organized into categories based on body systems. The site is still under construction, so many of the categories are not yet active. There are also opportunities for researchers to contribute to the project in a variety of ways.
